"People don't buy wine.
They buy memories."
Beyond London exists to help people discover England's incredible wine scene through unforgettable experiences. Whether you're exploring a celebrated vineyard in the Surrey Hills or enjoying a beautifully curated tasting at home, every experience is designed to bring people together — through exceptional English wines, engaging storytelling, and moments that stay with you long after the last glass.
What we offer
Each experience naturally leads into the next — creating a journey of discovery through England's growing wine scene.
Curated group escapes from London to award-winning English wine estates. We handle transport, itinerary and every booking — your group just shows up and enjoys the day. Explore beautiful countryside, meet the people behind the wines, and discover why English sparkling is taking on Champagne.
Luxury English sparkling wine tasting experiences brought to you. Relaxed, interactive and entertaining — designed to feel like a celebration, not a lecture. Featuring wines sourced directly from our vineyard partners, with personalised menus, tasting cards, games and more.
The process
You tell us what you're celebrating. We take care of everything else.
Share a few details — occasion, group size, rough date and any preferences. We'll come back with a tailored proposal.
We handle the venue, transport, itinerary and all bookings. One clear plan to approve — no back and forth, no spreadsheets.
Arrive at the meeting point and enjoy the experience. Every detail has been taken care of — so you can focus on the group, not the logistics.
The kind of day people talk about for months. Exceptional English wines, beautiful settings, and moments that bring people together.
Who we're for
Whether you're marking a milestone or just need a brilliant excuse to get together, we'll make it unforgettable.
A sophisticated alternative to another night out. Beautiful setting, exceptional English fizz, and the bride-to-be doesn't have to organise a thing.
Mark the milestone properly. From intimate private tastings to full vineyard days — we'll make it a celebration that lives up to the occasion.
For groups who want to do something genuinely different, without anyone spending weeks organising it in a group chat.
Team building, company offsites and end-of-year celebrations. We handle everything so your team just turns up and enjoys it.
Why Beyond London
Real venue relationships. Genuine expertise. One point of contact for everything.
We've personally visited and vetted every vineyard partner. Not just a booking agent — we know the estates, the wines and the people behind them.
No juggling multiple suppliers. You deal with us — we deal with everyone else. One clear plan, one payment, zero stress.
For vineyard days, a group coach from central London means everyone travels together and nobody has to drive or worry about trains.
Our wines are sourced directly from our vineyard partners — award-winning estates whose stories we know and can share with your group.
Every experience is tailored to your group and occasion — from custom tasting menus to personalised welcome signage and curated playlists.
From intimate tastings for 8 to large corporate groups of 50+. We scale every experience to fit your group perfectly.
About
I spent several years working in innovation before taking on a programme coordination role within the Royal Household, where I was responsible for organising over 200 engagements a year for a senior working member of The Royal Family. That experience taught me that exceptional organisation, handled discreetly and efficiently, can make almost anything possible.
I've always had a passion for wine. Tastings across Europe and America have taken me from Champagne to Tuscany to Napa Valley, and I've watched English sparkling wine go from a curiosity to an internationally celebrated product over the past decade. When I decided to leave a career I loved to build something of my own, combining the skills I'd built with my passion for wine felt natural.
Beyond London exists to make England's wine scene more accessible, through curated vineyard day trips and private English sparkling wine tasting experiences. We work with a carefully selected portfolio of vineyard partners across Surrey, Kent and Sussex, handling every detail so that you can simply show up and enjoy the experience.
We're just getting started, and we can't wait to share England's wine with as many people as possible.
