Happy Anniversary Aston Wine Club! Aston Wine Club is 26 years old and looking forward to celebrating with a special anniversary event on 20 May. The Club was founded in 1996, by a group of friends living in and around Aston Clinton with the aim of offering the chance to meet various wine enthusiasts and broaden their knowledge of wines, but above all to enjoy themselves. The friends put together a small committee and decided that it would be a non-spitting club! They booked Buckland Village Hall where we still meet, though we do not have to scare away mice before tastings these days!
or theme. Eight wines are usually tasted, with a light supper being served in the middle of the evening. The Club is very friendly and relaxed and tries to cover all areas of the wine-making world, as it is geared towards "appreciation" of wine rather than only fine wines. We not only sample wines from the well-known and established wine regions of the world, both old and new world, but also from those lesser known and emerging regions such as Brazil, Uruguay, Turkey and of course England! Our experts are extremely diverse, ranging from the highly qualified members of the 'Wine Educators Association’ to single wine importers and merchants.
Those aims have certainly been achieved over the last 26 years and continue to be the ethos of the club. Each month a presenter is invited to host a tasting of wines, focusing on a specific region
We usually meet on the third Friday of each month, and we always give new members a very warm welcome. For more information, please contact us at www.astonwineclub.co.uk.
