I'm Freddie, a wine aficionado, history graduate and professional storyteller! After working in the wine trade and hospitality for several years, running walking tours in London on the side for other companies I decided to combine my two passions together.

Join me on a stroll through the West End to discover just how Britain changed the world of wine. From the Knights' Templar to the Napoleonic Wars with lashings of Claret and Port along the way (so long as you pass it correctly!)

Stopping off en route at several iconic landmarks for a social history of how the other half drink...Refreshing ourselves at the more affordable drinking dens as we discover just how and why a beer-loving nation, incapable of growing their own vines, became so obsessed with wine...
