Wine tasting events
The CWTC events are usually held in bars in Cardiff city centre and the Bay where we can have dedicated facilities. The evening talks normally have presentations by an outside speaker who is an expert in that evening's theme. Most come from the professional wine trade, but speakers have also included academics and representatives of trade bodies.Forthcoming events are listed, in calendar order; for more information on particular events, please contact the CWTC. Please note that event details sometimes change at very short notice, although we do try to contact members through our mailing list. To join the mailing list, please see the contact page.
We also sometimes publicise non-CWTC events when we feel they might be of interest to CWTC members. Note however that CWTC has no affiliation with these events, and you should contact the organisers for further details.
For information on past events, see the yearly pages: [2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015][2016][2017][2018][2019][2020][2021][2022][2023][2024].
