Curious Vines North East Launch!

Join us in Newcastle for our inaugural BYO Gathering in the North East!

Calling all wonderful women+ in wine working in Newcastle and across the North East of England! Join the Curious Vines North East launch with our very first Gathering in Newcastle on Monday 11th May.

We use our popular BYOB format to create a fun, vibrant atmosphere, where our bottles provide the perfect ice-breaker. You can come on your own too as it is friendly and welcoming, or bring friends and colleagues to help our North East community grow. This event is the fastest and most engaging way to make new friends over our shared passion for wine. This gathering will include snacks from the wonderful team at Newcastle’s medieval jewel, the award-winning Blackfriars Restaurant.

Special thanks to our North East regional team co-leaders who will be there - Monika Kent, Leah Newman and Ailsa Samuels - for pulling everything together and making the region come to life!

When: Monday 11th May 2026, 7pm to 9pm

Where: Blackfriars Restaurant, Friars Street, Newcastle NE1 4XN

What’s included: Snacks by Blackfriars Restaurant

What to bring: A bottle of something you wish to share - a wine with a story, a memory or just one that you love!
