- Taste up to 16 wines in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere
- 6 hours of wine tasting and tuition
- Lunch with more wine
- Meet sociable people who share your interest in wine
Our one-day courses 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 the space of the one day, we will teach you how to taste properly,
how to evaluate a wine and how to describe it 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.
Lunch
with wine is an integral part of the day.
We offer one general introductory course (The World of Wine) and four
special interest courses focused on France, Italy, Spain & Portugal
and Champagne/Sparkling wines.
On The World of Wine, we will take you on a 'guided tour' of the great
wine producing regions of the world. You will taste up to 16 wines,
including classics from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rioja and Tuscany as well
as a representative selection from the New World.
Each of the four special interest courses will give you a deep insight
to the wines of the areas concerned. You will taste up to 16 wines,
carefully selected to illustrate the key points of the day.
