"Our aim with this tour is to connect and engage with as many people in the trade as we can over the two week period," said Negociant's PR and marketing manager Alex Layton. "We strongly believe this is the best way to engage with both the wine trade and the wine drinker, so having this group of world renowned winemakers on our shores is definitely our best way to achieve this goal."

Negociant's last roadshow, in 2012, saw more than 400 people attend, and this year Layton is expecting in excess of 500 visitors, including independent wine merchants, national multiple grocery and specialists, as well as the on-trade and regional wholesalers. 

In addition to the trade events, Negociants will also be in attendance at the Three Wise Men consumer event in York on September 26 to September 27 and will be holding masterclasses over the two days with all their winemakers.
