English Wine Week: Meet to Maker - Mereworth Wines

Mereworth Wines is one of the country's newest but brightest stars in the winery indsutry. To celebrate English Wine Week, we're delighted that Scott Gebbie, wine maker at Mereworth, will be 'taking'-over' Kent Wine School for an evening of wine celebration!  

Born and raised in Kent, Scott’s passion for winemaking has seen him working in wine regions all over the world – Tuscany, California, Oregon, Ontario, Marlborough, Canberra and Languedoc, to name but a few. Having studied a 2 year Masters of Science in Viticulture and Oenology, Scott’s passion for traditional method sparkling wine led him to Champagne where he interned with the Comité Champagne’s vineyard research team.

After years of globe-trotting, Scott’s winemaking journey has come full circle, bringing his wealth of experience back to his home in Kent. 

Scott will give us a fascinating insight into the story of Mereworth Wines & the challenges of setting up and managing a young, small winery in an ever busy wine market.  We'll taste a stunning range of their wines & gins that show case the versatility of wineries today.

This is a great opportunity to hear from  wine makers first hand, and get a real insight into the world of vineyards and wine making.  It's not all glamour, as Scott will reveal!

You can either pruchase this event as a one-off, or as part of our 3 week English Wine Week Residency which includes:
