Showcase brings Birmingham’s best wine talent together

Birmingham’s vibrant wine scene will take centre stage next month as the Colmore Wine Showcase comes to the city on Saturday 9 May at the Grand Hotel Birmingham. 

The event, curated by Birmingham Colmore - the team behind Colmore Life - invites guests to discover new wines in a relaxed, welcoming setting. 

Celebrating the best of the city’s wine and hospitality venues, the Wine Showcase brings together leading names including Loki, Arch 13, Vagabond, Hotel du Vin, and Birmingham’s first urban winemaker Midlands Press, alongside expert sommeliers. 

Felicity Blades, marketing manager at Birmingham Colmore said: “The Colmore Wine Showcase is all about celebrating Birmingham’s fantastic wine scene in a way that feels open, social and unpretentious.

“We’re bringing together some of the city’s most exciting venues and experts to create a relaxed environment where people can discover something new, whether they’re completely new to wine or already passionate about it.”

Attendees can expect an afternoon of tasting, learning, and informal exploration, all within a stunning venue overlooking Cathedral Square.

Each ticket includes three wine samples and light antipasti, with additional talks, tasting activities, and surprise drops planned throughout the day.

Two sittings are available at 2pm and 4.30pm, offering flexibility for attendees to enjoy at their own pace. Tickets are priced at £15 plus booking fee.

The Colmore Wine Showcase aims to make wine fun, accessible, and unpretentious, perfect for both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts looking to try something new in the heart of Birmingham.
