Welcome to the Cornwall Wine Tasting Group (CWTG) website.
The CWTG meets monthly - usually in the Hall for Cornwall, Truro - to taste wine and to talk about it.
The group is made up of people who are enthusiastic about wine, who enjoy wine and who would like to learn more.
Some members are experienced and knowledgeable; others less so. All of us share an interest in tracking down interesting and exciting wines and enjoying the company of other enthusiasts.
