About Us

Wine Workshops has been created by Jeremy and Rachel Marshall Roberts as an enjoyable way learn more about wines for both corporate, trade and consumer customers.

Jeremy and Rachel have worked in the wine trade for over 30 years and both hold the Wine and Spirit Education Trust Diploma.

Trained by Grants of St James in wine buying, tasting, and investing in fine wines, Jeremy specialises in the traditional European wine areas and in particular Bordeaux, Burgundy and Port.

In 1977, Jeremy established his own wholesale company supplying quality wines to hotels, restaurants, pubs, corporate and private customers in the UK. Jeremy also deals in fine wine for investment and advises corporate and private clients on building a portfolio of wines for investment or future drinking.

His work regularly takes him on extensive wine tasting and buying tours throughout Europe. With many years experience and practical first hand knowledge of the vineyards, Jeremy is an expert at finding parcels of quality wine, which offer excellent value and an expression of place.

Rachel specialises in New World wines, wine & health and food & wine matching. She has led top international consultancy teams to identify and analyse the strategic growth of the wine industry; in particular focusing on South African wines for Tesco. Rachel also organises courses and lectures for corporate and private clients.

Highly experienced in business development, Rachel established Hay Hampers, a food and wine gift mail order business in 1984. Hay Hampers enjoys world-wide recognition with many long-standing corporate and private customers.
