Sam Hill

After discovering quality wine on family holidays to France, Sam has been exploring the world of wine ever since. Since then, Sam has visited wine regions around the world and studied with the West London Wine School since the school's beginnings.

In 2017 Sam took the plunge, left his medical research job and signed up for the MSc. in Viticulture and Oenology at Plumpton college, specialising in English still and sparkling wine. Sam's passion lies in vine growing and winemaking and he believes that by understanding the science and the stories behind the wines, their beauty is revealed. He has indulged this obsession by working harvests in the cellars around Europe including Franciacorta in Italy and Alsace in France. All this in preparation for making his own wines here in the South of England.
