In 2004, Gusbourne planted its first vines in Appledore, Kent, with one ambition – to craft English sparkling wine to rival the world’s finest. Two decades on, that vision still drives the team today. Gusbourne grows and hand-picks all its own grapes, producing only vintage wines, each an authentic expression of a single harvest. From meticulous vineyard care to precise winemaking, every bottle tells the story of its season.
California is a special place, blessed with amazing resources, land and climate. From a thriving technology industry to revolutionary green farming, California is the land of Innovation. Californian Winemakers are at the forefront of this innovation, bringing ingenuity and vision to their winemaking practices to produce fantastically diverse range of wines from across the state. They lead the way in sustainable farming and use California’s abundant sunshine and long growing season to let the grapes express their best characteristics. The food culture in California has grown up alongside its wines and the region has a plethora of talented and experimental chefs and restaurants. It is no wonder that Californians are known the world over for their relaxed and positive approach to life –there is plenty to smile about with a glass of California Wine in hand and a plate of something delicious to enjoy it with.
Wine and tea have long shaped cultural gatherings – wine as Europe’s expression of terroir and craft, tea as Asia’s ritual of refinement. Saicho unites these traditions. Founded by Charlie and Natalie Winkworth-Smith, this award-winning British brand masters flavour through tea artistry. Single-origin leaves from Darjeeling, Fujian, and Shizuoka are steeped using proprietary low-temperature methods in Shropshire spring water, then delicately sparkled – creating refined, complex profiles. Favored by Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide, Saicho honours craft and reimagines celebration.
