about us...
‘Vinorum' – literally translated 'of wines' – is a celebration of everything that makes wine extraordinary.
Vinorum felt like the perfect name for my wine business. After an incredible three decades immersed in every level of the wine world, I decided I wanted to focus on what lies at the heart of wine - the experience, understanding and fun of the vineyard to the bottle, and all the incredible moments in between.
My passion stems from the simplicity of wine: taking away the fear and the fog, and leaving the story, the fun, and the magical moments, reminding you why that wine needs to be drunk again! Every bottle has a story, shaped by ancient soils, dramatic landscapes, varied topography, unique microclimates, and the people who dedicate their lives to the vineyard and the cellar.
Nothing beats sharing exceptional bottles, fascinating wine nuggets, delicious nibbles, and a little banter. Join me for my unforgettable tasting evenings, meet like-minded people, explore the wine in your glass, form your own opinion on the wine and trust in your opinion! Learn enough to be able to live that moment again!
I have been incredibly fortunate in my wine career: meeting inspiring people, visiting breathtaking and charming wineries, and tasting outstanding wines. My aim is simple...to share those experiences with you....

Wine Tastings
Come and experience a wine tasting but done a little differently...it’s fun, impactful, and you’ll absorb fascinating facts almost by osmosis. You can take whatever you like from the evening: a lively night out meeting new friends, learning as little or as much about wine as you wish, ask as many questions as you always wante
Wine Tastings
Come and experience a wine tasting but done a little differently...it’s fun, impactful, and you’ll absorb fascinating facts almost by osmosis. You can take whatever you like from the evening: a lively night out meeting new friends, learning as little or as much about wine as you wish, ask as many questions as you always wanted to and always trying some excellent bottles... some reassuringly familiar and others you may never have tasted had you not attended.
Discover wines that always work on a restaurant list, explore why concrete is (in my humble opinion) the best way to age wine, and enjoy a little guided blind tasting comparing certain wines from different regions. Scary but the best way to learn!
We have a variety of wine tastings to choose from...or come to them all!
All our wine tastings are held at three different venues: Joe’s Brasserie SW6 2UL, Brinkley’s Hollywood Road SW109HX and Upstairs at The Fulham Arms SW6 5SA...See the tasting page for full details. Alternatively, you can host a tasting in your own home, at your company or wherever you would like.

Come and sit down with me for 30 minutes to talk about what you want to achieve on your wine journey...whether over the next month or the next 20 years and beyond. Together, we’ll plan how you’re going to get there and have a huge amount of fun along the way.
Cellar Planning
Do you have a wine cellar? Do you want one?
We can plan a cellar from the ground up, or simply go through what you already have to ensure you’re drinking your wines at the right time and making the most of them.
Wine is so varied and it’s alive ..so it’s important to keep abreast of the stage your wines are at, so they can give you what you want out of them...
Your Palate
Everyone has a palate, a reason why they like one wine and not another - do you understand your palate? - as believe it or not there is a science behind it that is very simple and will open you up to many other wines to drink. Join ' Vine Society' and we can meet, and I can steer you through why you like what you like and what else you will like - either via zoom or in person - in person a chance to test the theory!
Vine Society - join 'Vine Society’ and take your experience to the next level - more wine opportunities and events - please email Susan@soilandvine.co.uk.

Winemakers
In my 30 years in the wine world, I’ve had the privilege of meeting some truly extraordinary winemakers from across the globe—fascinating, charismatic individuals who are masters of their craft. What makes them even more remarkable is that their life’s work results in something tangible and deeply enjoyable: wines to be savoured, shared, and experienced.
Even more compelling is the opportunity to visit them in their own environments, gaining insight into their vineyards, philosophies, and processes.
Through Vinorum, you’ll have the chance to attend exceptional winemaker dinners and lunches, offering rare access to these inspiring figures. For those seeking a deeper connection, membership in the Vine Society opens the door to exclusive visits and behind-the-scenes experiences.
If you’re interested in joining the Vine Society, please enquire with Susan.
