What to wear for a Wine Tasting?
A wine tasting at Gusbourne Estate calls for the kind of menswear that feels refined without appearing overdressed. Surrounded by vineyards, countryside terraces and long summer lunches, the atmosphere is elegant but relaxed. When thinking about what to wear for a wine tasting, lightweight tailoring and rich natural textures work best. The goal is effortless sophistication, something polished enough for the estate setting while remaining comfortable throughout the afternoon.
The outfit
- Unstructured soft blazer
The lightweight unstructured blazer introduces relaxed tailoring and soft texture without feeling too formal for a countryside setting.
- Knitted polo
A refined knitted polo adds depth and warmth while keeping the outfit softer and more contemporary than a classic shirt.
- Khaki cotton trousers
The tailored cotton trousers balance the darker coffee tones and maintain a clean, elegant silhouette.
- Woven suede loafers
The suede loafers introduce artisanal texture and relaxed Riviera-inspired sophistication.
- Braided belt and sunglasses
The braided leather belt and acetate-frame sunglasses complete the look with understated summer character.
Why this outfit works?
Wine tastings are social, slow-paced and usually set outdoors, which means heavy formal tailoring can quickly feel out of place. This outfit works because it combines relaxed tailoring with refined textures and earthy tones that naturally suit vineyard environments. The soft neutral palette reflects the countryside atmosphere, while the knitted polo and suede loafers keep the outfit elegant without appearing corporate or rigid.
When to wear this look?
This outfit also works well for:
- countryside weekends
- estate lunches
- summer terrace gatherings
- garden parties
- elegant daytime social events
Studio tips
- Prioritise breathable fabrics like cotton, lightweight tailoring and soft knits during summer tastings.
- Earthy tones such as beige, olive, brown and ecru work especially well in vineyard settings.
- Avoid overly formal businesswear. Wine tastings should feel refined but relaxed.
