About this episode

Tom Gilbey shares his journey from marathon runner to social media wine sensation and discusses his family's wine legacy.

Tom Gilbey, AKA The Wine Guy, has had a remarkable couple of years. Since running the London Marathon in 2024, raising thousands of pounds for Sobell House Hospice in memory of his Mum, he has become a social media sensation, gaining hundreds of thousands of followers entertained by his rather unconventional wine reviews. His family has lived and breathed wine for many generations and on this week’s episode of The Ultimate Road Trip, Tom’s love of all things grape-based and why he decided to continue that family story in his own inimitable fashion, is a fascinating listen. And his road trip? Well, the car, passenger and tune are all suitably memorable!
