An evening with Tom Gilbey

We can’t wait to welcome Tom Gilbey (The Wine Guy) to Chorleywood, where he’ll be treating us to a whistlestop tour of the world of wine.

Thirsty is the story of Tom Gilbey’s life in wine, a celebration of the people who make it, and a history of his family’s love affair with wine making – and let’s be honest, drinking – since the 1800’s.

Within the pages of Thirsty, you will learn how to:

– read a label (even if you can’t speak the language)

– talk wine without sounding naff

– choose wine in a restaurant

– explain why some wine smells like your granny’s cardigan

From France’s Beaujolais region and Australia’s Hunter Valley, to England’s vineyards and the unsung aisles of our local supermarkets, Tom is on hand to help you pick the best wines to suit any occasion.

Tom shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories taken from Thirsty, unpacks a few wine myths, and answers your burning questions (wine-related or otherwise). With his signature mix of charm, chaos, and unfiltered insight, it promises to be a night of laughs, learnings, and liquid joy. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just here for the anecdotes, come raise a glass and enjoy wine the Tom Gilbey way - no pretence, just proper fun. All tickets include 2 glasses of Tom's recommended wine to enjoy during the event.
