on

Sunday June 3rd,
12:00pm – 18:00pm

Borough Market will be celebrating

Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and English Wine Week

one day English wine extravaganza and English food festival in, where else, Borough Market’s Jubilee Market

London Bridge

The only exclusively English wine shop in London, as featured by
Financial Times
is celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the start of English Wine Week.
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 to the best of what England
has to offer. On arrival, the first 500 tickets will be greeted with their very own
commemorative wine glass and five special tokens (festival currency of tuppence and
crowns) to sample five different wines from as far north as Leeds, as far west as
Cornwall, and as far 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.

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