Its our 100th wine tasting!  How did we get here so quickly?! Since opening the doors of the Stroud Wine Company over 7 years ago, we have hosted 99 public wine tastings for you lovely people of Stroud and beyond. Thats 99 times you have gladly shown up, tasted, enthused, engaged and enjoyed our wines and events. Wowsers.

So, we think this deserves a bit of a celebration to say thank you. We would love it if you could join us at our Griffin Mill store for an informal sampling of 20 plus wines and some great natural ciders from around the world – on us, as our guests, completely FREE.

As ever with our tastings, this will of course include some unusual grape varieties and wines that you may never have tried.  We have some new wines from Greece, Portugal, Hungary and Spain alongside some of the classics from France and Italy.

All this PLUS we will have Velo Pizza right outside, serving up their legendary sourdough pizzas.  As we said, it’s informal, so please pop in anytime between 5pm and 9pm on Saturday 4th May. 

We can’t wait to see you!

An Introduction to Natural Wine, Friday 19th January @ 7pm, Griffin Mill

£15.00
Read more

This January, don’t go dry, go natural!  January is a time for resolutions and renewal, pledges to eat better, sleep better, feel better.  Where better to start than with better wine? 

Did you know there are up to 80 additives that can be added to mass market wines, none of which need to be stated on the label?  However, we have always championed wines with little or no additives, made as naturally as possible, low in sulphites and not messed around with in the vineyard or the winery. 

Join us on the evening of Friday 19th January for an introduction to natural wines, these wines are the purest expression of the grapes, full of character, and are made with nothing added and nothing taken away.  We will be talking and tasting through five wines between 7pm and 8pm or so, then choose a glass of your favourite to enjoy at the end too. 

If you wish to order a Velo pizza, menus are available and we will be taking pre-orders at 7pm. Your pizza will be delivered around 8pm.  We are then staying open for wines by the glass, great music and even more natural wine.

Cider & Cheese evening, Friday 27th October @ 7pm

£27.50
Read more

The days are getting shorter, the nights are coming in, and a change to autumnal oranges and browns is starting to take form in the hedgerows and woods. This year’s apple and pears are almost fully ripe and the harvest will begin soon if not already, with fermentation just around the corner. The movement of dairy flocks of cows, sheep and goats would now traditionally be moving down from their high altitude pastures to the lowlands below. Here in Stroud the cattle on the common may well stay on our communal pastures until the end of October. So what better way to celebrate this season of harvest than a delicious and warming cider and cheese tasting.

Whilst wine has long been respected and seen as the perfect pairing with cheese, and beer has gone through its own revolution over the past 15-20 years, cider is still held by many in low regard. But this is most certainly beginning to change, and its gastronomic suitability is undeniable, so what better way to show off that potential than pairing it with one of its greatest bedfellows…CHEESE!

Join us for a decidedly Autumnal tasting focused on fine cheese & Cider, we will be tasting our favourites from the U.K and Europe.
