Welcome To The Horspath Wine .Club
The HWC is fast becoming one of the most popular groups in the Horspath village area. With around 50 members, the club meets most months at ‘The Hub’ in Horspath between 7.30pm-9.30pm to taste 6-7 different wines and/or spirits, hosted by a member or an external expert. (See Tasting Dates)
The wines are chosen by that evening's host and the themes are chosen by the full group. We also enjoy cheese & biscuits or other nibbles at each tasting.
To understand how the tastings work each month, see the FAQ page
For more information, please CONTACT US.
We look forward to seeing you.

Upcoming Tastings
FRIDAY, 21ST NOVEMBER - THE BEAUTY OF BRAZIL WITH GO BRAZIL
On 21st November we welcome (back) Nic Corfe, MD of Go Brazil Wines & Spirits. Founded in 2010, Go Brazil is the UK’s only specialist importer of Brazilian wines and we are looking forward to what promises to be a fascinating tasting, featuring wines from a broad range of producers and regions, including some newly arrived labels. As Nicholas – who lasted visited Brazil in May - says, modern Brazilian winemaking actually dates back to the late 19th century and, although not widely available in the UK, the wines that are exported are both of a high quality and distinctive from other South American countries. FRIDAY, 19TH DECEMBER 2025 - MEMBER'S END-OF-YEAR TASTING
Our end of year party this year will include lashings of Champagne, Sparkling Wine, plus a surprise drink to get everyone in the mood for Christmas and the turn of another year of great tastings. (Registration Opens 22nd November) 
A Sample of Recent Tastings
FRIDAY, 21st March 2025 - Rioja
Four members of the HWC hosted a tasting on Rioja, Spain's famous wine region and expansive wine list. These were the wines tasted. 
FRIDAY, 7th February 2025 - SOUTH AFRICA
Our new year began with a great tasting evening, following our traditional January break. Edgmond Wines was established in 2013 and provides expert advice and great wines to its customers. Edgmond specialises in South African wine and for our tasting, Preet, the founder and managing director of the company, has agreed to host our tasting evening and introduce us to some of the best, but possibly not well known, South African wines. ROUND-UP OF 2024
Our December 2024 tasting was a Christmas special, a blind tasting of some amazing Champagne's and Sparkling Wines with 36 attendees. And what fun it was. Few members were able to discover the actual Champagnes amongst the list, such was the quality of all the wines. And the Port to finish was pleasantly warming ahead of the walk home.
Overall, 2024 was a bumper year for the club. We tasted 49 wines over 9 tastings from many different countries. We were lucky to have some expert guidance from many external speakers and also gained many new members over the year.

You Can Get The No.46 Bus?
The timing of each tasting is set so that those from outside Horspath village can get the No.46 bus, which stops just a few yards from the Hub.
We have an increasing number of members regularly travelling from either direction in order to enjoy our tasting evenings.
