Raise a Glass: Durham Wine Week Set to Make Its Sparkling Debut This Autumn Wine lovers, rejoice! Following on from the success of Newcastle Wine Week in June. The much-anticipated Durham Wine Week is making its grand debut from October 10th to 19th 2025, offering an unmissable opportunity to explore the city’s vibrant wine scene at an unbeatable price. This is a city-wide celebration of wine, collaborating with some of the best venues across the city.
Hosted by Leah Newman of Newcastle-based wine retail and events company “Whispering Wine” and fully supported by Durham Bid and City of Durham Parish Council, you are in expert hands.
For the very first time, wine enthusiasts will be able to purchase a Durham Wine Week wristband via the official Durham Wine Week's website giving them 50% off a handpicked selection of wines at some of Durham’s finest venues.
Celebrated restaurants, including FIIK, Coarse, Veeno and Crush are just a few of the many participants joining the celebration. Each venue has collaborated with Leah, an expert in wine, to create a bespoke Durham Wine Week List, an expertly curated menu of exceptional wines that reflect the venue’s character and commitment to quality.
With a wide array of venues and wine varietals to enjoy, Durham Wine Week promises to be a toast-worthy addition to the city’s cultural calendar.
Wristbands are available now at Durham Wine Week's website where you can also explore the participating venues.
