Meet the team
The Tom Gilbey team... Meet Lucy, our ball of energy who's well on her way to getting her WSET Diploma and always happy to jump on the wine stage. Charlie's Tom's p.a. and takes care of the all important nitty gritty detail behind each and every wine event, and Freddie, Tom's son, who's created this website amongst much else and has absorbed much of his wine knowledge through osmosis. He's polished that with his WSET Level 3.

OUR LEGACY
Tom and Freddie's family, Gilbeys, were the first English family to buy a Chateau in Bordeaux, Chateau Loudenne in 1875 .....
They went on to become the most prominent wine and spirits merchant in the UK, selling one in every three bottles of wine consumed and developing a range of spirits including Smirnoff Vodka, J&B whisky and their very own Gilbeys Gin.

Classic and Contemporary
We select our wines because they stand out. They shine in our events and at your dinner table and we share the passion of the growers who make them. When wine growers care as deeply about their wines as we do our events, we’ve got a match – no cutting corners.
