ONE DAY WINE WORKSHOPS: £115 EACH

One day wine workshops
  • Taste 16 wines in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere
  • 6 hours of wine tasting and tuition
  • 3 course lunch with wine
  • Meet sociable people who share your interest in wine

Our 1-day workshops are designed to appeal to people who would like to learn a bit about wine but don't have the time to follow one of our evening courses. They make great Christmas or anniversary presents.

In these workshops, we will teach you how to taste properly and how to describe and evaluate a wine using appropriate vocabulary. We will help you understand the factors that influence the style of a wine – climate, grape variety, etc. - and give you the confidence to make sense of wine labels and choose wine to go with food.

A 3-course lunch with wine is an integral part of the day. The lunch menu is carefully selected to match the theme of the workshop.

We offer one general introductory workshop (The World Of Wine) and a series of five more advanced workshops, which focus on the wines of France, Italy, Spain, Australia and The Americas (Le Tour De France, La Dolce Vita, Viva España, Down Under and Over There).
