Chiltern Wine Society

The Chiltern Wine Society has been based in Luton, Bedfordshire since 1979.  We have members from around the three counties: Beds, Bucks, and Herts.   We hold wine tastings normally on the first Friday of each month from about 8 to 10 p.m.

If you are interested in wine and would like to sample some interesting and unusual wines at modest cost, or if you would like to meet other people with similar tastes, please get in touch and we will be happy to give you more details.  Our tastings currently cost £8 for members and £10 for guests: for that you will usually be able to taste around seven different wines, all presented by a wine expert and enthusiast.  

For more information, email: chiltern@page2.eu or telephone  01582 731453.
