Club Information


We are a group of about 35 people who meet once a month on the third Tuesday at Bearsted Golf Club to learn more about wine in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

The Society was founded in 1975 and has been meeting regularly in the Maidstone area since that time. At the meetings a range of wines are presented for tasting. The topics covered are varied and can include wines from a country or wine region, a grape variety, or a range of wines from a particular wine company or wine estate. These are introduced by a guest wine presenter. During and after the tasting, members discuss the qualities of the wines.

Members have varying degrees of knowledge from novice to those with a deeper level of understanding who are willing to chat and share their experiences.

Members bring their own wine tasting glasses and many also bring biscuits and cheese."
