Caroline Sharley, Founder of Giggling Grape

My love for wine and thirst for knowledge of its origins has grown over the years. I haven't always been in the wine world, find out more about what brought me to where I am today.

About Me

“Life is too short to drink bad wine – with good friends.”

Sharing my love of wine

Wine tasting, buying and training

The Giggling Grape is all about exploring how wine can make our lives that bit better – so bring on laughing with friends, learning how an amazing product made it into our glass, and delighting in a sip (or two) of something delicious.
Here’s a bit more about what I do.

  • Tastings

    There’s always a lively and interesting event coming up; like different sorts of tastings, and food and wine paired suppers.
    Or, contact me to arrange your own private event.

    Explore events
  • Buying

    Buy wines from the Giggling Grape’s List with my ‘Good Sip’ of approval.
    Order delicious wines from past tastings/ events, and my other great finds.

    Stock the cellar
  • Training

    Ditch the wine jargon to learn more about the wines you, or your customers, love.
    For instance, learn more about the flavours of different wines, why they taste like they do, and what food goes best with what wines.
