In this episode, I’m sharing my key takeaways from my recent wine tour in England, where I explored both the technical and personal sides of the English wine industry. On the one hand, we dive into the hard skills that make English wineries stand out, like premium wine tourism, a strong focus on local partnerships, and the increasing emphasis on regional gastronomy. On the other hand, the soft skills are maybe even more important - dedication, creativity, intuition, and flexibility all play a huge role in shaping the future of English wine. Tune in for a unique perspective on how England is stepping up in the wine world, blending both tradition and innovation. 🍷✨
