The Brockenhurst Wine Club is a friendly and fun club, which meets monthly in the Brockenhurst Village Hall. The Club was started in 2016 by our late and wonderful previous Chairman John Harris. The aim of the Club is to explore a wide range of wines that you may not have come across, in a range of budgets, and to learn something about how and where they are made, as well as getting to know other like-minded people. We generally meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm.
The usual format of an evening is a tasting of around 8 wines, with a specific theme (for example: a region or country, or unusual grapes), led either by an independent wine expert, a wine trader or one of the Committee Members. All of these people are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and so the sessions hopefully combine the fun of trying different wines with a bit of learning thrown in.
Our meeting dates are given on the ‘Events’ page of this site as well as brief details of previous tasting meetings. If this smells appealing on the nose, tastes good to you, and you want to prolong the finish, do contact us about coming along!
The Club is open to all, and has an annual Membership subscription. Subscriptions are due in January each year. In addition, a a session fee is chargeable to attend a tasting meeting. Details of both the current Membership subscription amounts and tasting fees can be provided on request. The fees for each calendar year are set at the Club’s AGM which is held at the end of the previous year. Fees for special events may vary. For all sessions/events, guest attendance will be subject to availability of places. Members will be given priority. The fees are designed to cover the cost of the wine, external presenters (where relevant) and the fee for room hire at the Village Hall. The Club is managed on a voluntary basis by a Committee of Club Members who are elected each year by BWC Members.
