Afternoon session of the Christmas Wine Fair 2026, a guided walkabout tasting of over 80 wines, cheeses and cured meats from Cellar Door Wines.
Cellar Door Wines are holding their Christmas wine fair at Verulam Golf Club on Saturday 14 November, with the afternoon session running from 1pm to 3pm. It's the first of two sessions on the day, and the whole thing marks 22 years of the shop, which is an independent wine merchant based here in St Albans.
It's a walkabout tasting, so you move around the room at your own pace rather than sitting through a formal presentation. The shop's team of wine professionals will be on hand to guide you through, and the fair is set up to help you build your festive cases of drinks and gifts. There are over 80 wines to work your way through, with cheese and cured meats served alongside.
Cellar Door Wines makes a point of stocking bottles from off-the-beaten-track regions — the Canary Islands, Georgia, Italy, Ukraine and South Africa — alongside the more familiar favourites from France and Spain. The fair is one stop in a year-round programme of masterclasses, producer events and food-and-wine experiences they run throughout the year.
