With experience of organising wine events in international contexts since 2004, I founded Faye Cardwell Wine Events in 2011 to offer wine regions a personalised service to match their objectives and budget whilst maximising opportunities to gain exposure on international markets.

No events are the same, there is no off-the-shelf format. I create each experience to reflect the positioning and values of each brand and region I work with and put the needs of my large database of trade contacts at the forefront.

My Background

English by birth, French by marriage, German by residency and Italian in my heart.
