Naked Wines UK has released tickets for its summer 2025 tasting tour, travelling across the UK from Belfast to London this June with 30 independent winemakers on board
Anyone with a fondness for a decent drop and who fancies an entire day devoted to wine is in for a treat. Naked Wines UK has just launched tickets for its eagerly awaited tasting tour, which will journey across the UK this summer.
The Naked Wines Tasting Tour (£35pp) will run from Friday 11 June to Saturday 20 June, calling at Belfast, Glasgow and Edinburgh before travelling south through England and concluding in London.
It’s a unique opportunity for wine enthusiasts to encounter the individuals behind the bottles, with approximately 30 independent winemakers serving, conversing and revealing the tales behind their expertise. Obviously, there will be chances to sample the wines available before purchasing as well.

Alongside extensive tasting opportunities, the tour revives one of its most beloved hands-on experiences: the Blending Lab. Here, visitors can get stuck in and collaborate with the Tofterup brothers (Danish-born winemakers David and Jonas Tofterup) to craft a white wine blend from the ground up.
There’s more at stake than mere boasting rights, however. The person behind the victorious blend will proceed to co-create a wine with the brothers, with the finished bottle subsequently sold via Naked Wines, reports the Express.
Several benefits are also included with the ticket price. Current Naked Wines members will enjoy £35 off every 12 bottles they buy on the day, up to their ticket’s complete value. Meanwhile, newcomers who register at the event can secure £45 off their initial order.
Beyond Naked Wines, there’s a wealth of other wine-tasting adventures waiting to be discovered. The Bolney Wine Estate in West Sussex provides a Pairing Tour and Tasting for £30pp, featuring a guided estate tour alongside a tasting session with their award-winning wines paired with locally sourced cheeses.
Alternatively, Virgin Experiences is presently offering 20% off all wine tasting events using discount code FLASH20. Prices begin at £23, with numerous venues available throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
For those tempted by Naked Wines, it’s received glowing reviews from past attendees. One delighted participant shared: “The annual Tasting Tour is a wonderful opportunity for wine lovers to indulge, meet the winemakers and cement friendships with those they’ve met online.”
Another person commented: “If you love discovering new wines and winemakers, but want to try before you buy. This is an event you really do not want to miss out on.”
Nevertheless, with no dates currently scheduled for Wales, the North East, or the deeper South West, enthusiasts in Cornwall, Newcastle, or Cardiff will need to arrange a train journey or overnight accommodation to participate in the festivities. For those uncertain about making the journey, the community spirit could prove to be the clinching factor.
One frequent participant observed: “At the yearly wine tastings, we have the opportunity to meet over 30 such growers, taste their wines, and talk about their Naked Wines experience. Now that gives me a sense of making a difference.”
