A beautiful visit (on an otherwise drizzly July day) to see Hugo, Nicola, Daniel & Paris in Wiltshire on Monday!

It's always a privilege to take the teams from restaurants, shops and bars to visit growers & winemakers. Travelling less than 100 miles in a couple of rented minivans to bring passionate, like-minded people together to share ideas, stories, food, and wine remains quite the thrill.

It's a vital part of what we do: to offer the opportunity to learn about the commitment to soil health, biodiversity, and winemaking happening on our doorstep.

Monday was a chance to take a wander through the vines and see how the 2024 vintage is progressing (less rain, more sun, please); to taste the latest Domaine Hugo and Offbeat releases, and to enjoy lunch together in the shelter of the winery: salads from the garden, very good hummus, homemade bread, and the second biggest love on the farm: cheese!

A big thanks to the guys for having us down on Monday, and a huge thanks to the teams from Gnarly Vines, Ducksoup, Primeur, Westerns Laundry, Gladwells, Klose & Soan, Highbury Library, Joyce, Salthouse, Jolene, Carmel and Ploussard for joining us for the day!
