Nyetimber, the pioneer of English sparkling wine, is delighted to announce a new partnership with the Tour of Britain, the UK’s biggest professional cycle race.
Nyetimber champions the best of British sport, and like the world-class riders competing in the race, constantly strives for perfection. Stage winners and the overall race winner will be presented with a magnum of Nyetimber Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage.
Hugh Roberts, Tour of Britain executive chairman, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Nyetimber, a truly prestigious British brand who exemplify the Tour of Britain’s core values and identity. Our guests in the Sportsbreaks.com Terrace at each stage finish will be able to enjoy Nyetimber’s unmistakable sparking wine as they watch the world-class action unfold, further enhancing their race day experience.
“As this year’s race draws closer, we’re looking forward to seeing which rider claims the magnum of Nytetimber when they are crowned our 2023 champion in Caerphilly on Sunday 10 September!”
Taking place between Sunday 3 and Sunday 10 September, the Tour of Britain covers eight stages over 1,200 kilometres around the country. Following a Grand Départ from Greater Manchester, the Tour will visit North Wales, East Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk, Essex, and South West England.
This year’s champion will be crowned in historic Caerphilly following an undulating stage in South Wales.
This is the 19th edition of the race, and it forms part of the prestigious UCI ProSeries. A predicted 1.5 million spectators are expected to watch the 16 teams in action, capitalising on the free-to-attend nature of the event.
