Glasses at the ready - the Laithwaites Wine Festival is on its way to Birmingham.

Producers from around the world will be gathering at The Custard Factory on 10 May to serve their wines and share the stories behind each one. Festival goers can taste from a great range of wines and enjoy a host of masterclasses and interactive wine experiences.

You’ll receive a warm welcome on arrival, as well as a FREE glass and an informative brochure to guide you round the stands and help you make the most of the festival.

Look forward to an unlimited tasting of dozens of different wines from around the world. You’ll find all the classics like Rioja, Bordeaux and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, bestselling favourites and wonderful new discoveries too. There’ll also be Champagnes, Sherries, dessert wines and some superstar bottles. And many of the wines will be poured by the people who make them. Chatting to the winemakers, glass in hand, really is the best way to taste wine.

But a Laithwaites Festival is much more than just a wine tasting. You can also enjoy plenty of fun and informative masterclasses, including a cocktail winemaking experience and a cheese and wine pairing session.

And if you enjoy listening to great music as you sip your favourite wines, don’t miss ‘Merlot on the Dancefloor’. Pop on the headphones and test out how different styles of music can change the way you taste the wine in your glass. A wine tasting and silent disco all in one – dancing is very much encouraged.
