Other food and wine events in Cardiff

This page lists events in South Wales which have come to the attention of the CWTC and which we feel would be of interests to CWTC members: the Cowbridge Food and Wine Festival, the Cardiff Beer Festival, Bristol Winter Wine Fair, whisky tastings, and so on. These events change regularly and we do not keep a note of past events here, so please check often! If you are arranging an event which may be of interest to members, please get in touch via the contact page.

Please note, however, that the CWTC is only advertising these events as a service to our members, and has no further involvement. Please contact the organisers direct for more information.
