Newcastle Wine Week: Sip and save at the city’s best wine spots
Raise your glass. From Friday 20th – Sunday 29th June 2025, Newcastle is hosting its very first Newcastle Wine Week, giving wine lovers the chance to enjoy half-price wine offers at some of the best venues in town.
Organised by Leah Newman of Whispering Wine – a Newcastle-based wine retail and events company – and supported by David Harker of Newcastle Wine School, this new addition to the city’s calendar is designed to make discovering amazing wine as easy as possible.
Here’s how it works:
Buy your Newcastle Wine Week wristband and enjoy 50% off a bespoke list of wines at participating restaurants, bars and bottle shops across the city. Each venue has worked with Leah to craft a wine list that not only complements their menu but showcases their unique vibe.
And yes – the line-up features some of our favourite independent spots…
