Diamond Jubilee English Wine Extravaganza

Borough Market will be celebrating Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and English Wine Week with a one day English wine extravaganza and English food festival in, where else, Borough Market’s Jubilee Market, London Bridge.

Take in one of the most spectacular Flotillas that the Thames has ever seen, then slip away from the crowds and let the English corks fly in salute with the best of what England has to offer. Tickets are £10/head and the first 500 will receive a commemorative Diamond Jubilee glass and 5 tuppence/shillings (festival currency) to trade for 5 tastings of English wine from as far north as Yorkshire, as far west as Cornwall and as east as Essex.

A careful selection of English still and sparkling wine from across the country – and fit for a Queen – will be available by the glass to toast there and then, or by the bottle to take away. We have also teamed up with traders from Borough Market to fly the flag for English produce; it will be a trove of – among other fayre – bubbles, Bacchus (poster grape of English wine), Ortega, Kerner and Chardonnay (to name a few), rosé and even English reds (truly, English reds!); roast meats a-plenty, oysters, cucumber sandwiches, jellied eels, good British cheese, scones, new season English asparagus and, that perennial favourite, strawberries and cream. Bunting, corgies and the wonderful ladies from the W.I. will be out in force as we celebrate 60 years the way it deserves to be celebrated.

For further information or to purchase tickets, please visit our website (link below), email [email protected], or pop into the little shop at 1 Stoney St, Borough Market (opposite infamous tapas restaurant Brindisa).

What would a Jubilee be without a glass of English wine, after all?
