Our Journey
Established in August 2020, we at Tom Gilbey continue to grow and develop our wine events to give you the most memorable experiences possible.
The Gilbey Legacy
The Gilbey legacy goes back to 1856, when Tom’s Great-Great-Grandfather, Alfred Gilbey, returned from the Crimean War, needing to make a living. He set up a retail wine company with his brother Walter, the two starting their business with a six-foot trestle table on Oxford street.
At one point Gilbey’s was selling one in every three bottles of wine consumed in the UK


Chateau Loudenne
In 1875 Gilbeys were the first British people to buy a Chateau in Bordeaux. They imported it's wine in barrels to Camden roundhouse where it was then bottled and distributed around the country.
