BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU DAY

I'm throwing a party!

From midday until late on Thursday 20th November at Sophie's Soho, join me for an unforgettable French-inspired party, complete with live music from DJs, jazz and accordion, plenty of laughter, and of course, exceptional wine.

Every ticket includes a glass of this year’s Beaujolais Nouveau that I have specially selected, while lunch and dinner tickets also feature a specially curated set menu paired with my hand-picked wines from the region. With books, merch, and bottles available - plus the chance to hang out with me in person - this is set to be a proper French fête in the heart of Soho. Beaujolais Nouveau only comes once a year, and this year we’re going big. Grab your tickets now before they’re gone. Santé!

I'VE WRITTEN A BOOK

A while back that I did a thing called running the London Marathon blind-tasting a wine every mile. Well, after that someone then approached me and said, 'hey if you can do something as silly as that, then you can definitely write a book'. Turns out, running the Marathon is a lot easier.  

But, after a few headaches, meltdowns and quite a few bottles of wine, I actually have managed to write a book. It’s called Thirsty: 100 Great Wines and Stories, and it’s being released on 6 November 2025.

This isn’t your dull old wine manual - it’s me on paper. One hundred bottles I love (from supermarket gems to Château legends) and the stories that go with them, plus more than just a bit of me, my family and lots more Fred. You’ll learn how to read a label without feeling like a wanker, talk wine without sounding daft, and why some bottles might smell like your granny’s cardigan. Pre-order it now - you’ll thank me by Christmas.

AND I'M ON THE ROAD

Fred and I are off around the country on our Thirsty book tour, and we can't wait to see all your faces out and about as we take Thirsty on the road.

Get your tickets to a night like no other - come for a right laugh, and hopefully you'll learn a little bit about wine along the way.

We're bloomin' excited - though judging by the side of his car, I just hope Fred isn't driving.

FIND DATES

Fred finally took a hint and booked us off to Bordeaux! One of my absolute favourite wine destinations, and lucky for you he took his camera. Take a look at our latest YouTube as we sip our way through some of France's finest wine country - and some excellent bottles I managed to cram in my suitcase home.

My Wine Events

Forget swirling, sniffing and pretending to taste “hints of leather and regret”, a Tom Gilbey wine event is about ditching the pomp and drinking properly: with laughter, a bit of chaos, and the kind of stories that make the wine taste even better.

Whether it's a small scale a blind tasting, hosting a raucous corporate do, or popping corks at a private dinner, we run wine events in the best way we know how, turning wine from something intimidating into something irresistibly fun (and dangerously drinkable).
