Taylor’s Port are delighted to announce that they are partnering with the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT), bringing the finest Port to future GWCT events. The partnership will
commence at The Game Fair taking place at Blenheim Palace from 26 to 28 July.

The GWCT shares many common goals with Taylor’s including the use of scientific research to underpin sustainable conservation practice, the conservation of landscape, habitat and wildlife and improving the biodiversity of the countryside to name just a few. Taylor’s themselves run a sustainable vineyard model, which recognises the importance of interspersing areas of vine with natural vegetation and woodland to protect natural diversity and resilience.

Taylor’s Managing Director, Adrian Bridge says: “At Taylor’s we share many common goals with the GWCT and it seemed a natural choice for a partnership. Overall, our commitment to
supporting biodiversity and sustainability in our vineyards is echoed in the efforts the GWCT are undertaking to protect and support the countryside here in the UK. We look forward to working
with them going forwards and to introducing their members to our range of Taylor’s ports.”

Amber Hopgood, GWCT’s Interim Director of Membership, Marketing and Communications, said: “Our researchers study a wide range of species and topics, from waders to woodland birds, game management to farmland ecology, wild salmon to pollinators and black grouse to moorland conservation. It is this breath of research that makes the GWCT unique.

“More than 70% of the UK is made up of farmland and the GWCT believes that wildlife can thrive if we focus on integrating it alongside other land uses, which is exactly what Taylor’s are doing through their sustainable vineyard model.

“The way Taylor’s run their vineyards, and the research and conservation work carried out by the GWCT, show that it is possible to improve biodiversity and aid species recovery while still
running a sustainable and profitable business.” In recent years, Taylor’s has undertaken many initiatives to mitigate climate change and to promote sustainability, most notably founding the Porto Protocol in 2018, a global initiative dedicated to addressing climate change and promoting sustainable practices. It brings together businesses, organisations, and individuals committed to making a positive impact on the environment.

The partnership will commence at The Game Fair this week at Blenheim Palace, offering visitors the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a collector’s edition 5-litre bottle of Taylor’s 50-Year-Old Golden Age Tawny Port. Going forward, Taylor’s will be served at GWCT events throughout the year including the Wild & British Dinner (16th September), The City of London Dinner (16th
October), the Son’s & Daughter’s Dinner (28th November), The Langham Dinner hosted by Michel Roux Jr. (March 2025), the Duke’s Challenge (6th June 2025) and the Summer Dinner 2025 (July 2025).
