Welsh Wine Week 2025 celebrates growing Welsh wine industry
Welsh Wine Week 2025 highlighted the diversity and quality of wines produced in the region, featuring vineyard tours, tastings, and trade events.
The industry has seen a significant increase in wine production and international awards in recent years, with plans for further expansion.
A highlight of the week was the Cardiff tasting event, where seven Welsh vineyards showcased their wines to an audience of industry professionals.
The event also featured a selection of Welsh artisan foods.
With the summer season approaching, vineyards are preparing to welcome tourists eager to experience their products and landscapes.
The week was especially significant for Monmouthshire's White Castle Vineyard, which unveiled its new on-site winery.
Robb Merchant, owner of White Castle Vineyard, said: "The official opening of our new winery during Welsh Wine Week represents a significant chapter in the evolution of White Castle Vineyard.
"It is the result of years of strategic investment, commitment to quality, and a deep-rooted belief in the potential of Welsh viticulture."
From innovation in the vineyard to its contribution to rural economies and tourism, the industry is playing an increasingly important role in shaping Wales' identity as a producer of high-quality, distinctive wines.
