What People Say About Us

Russ T.

A wonderful day, many thanks. May I congratulate the gentleman presenting the course, his encyclopaedic knowledge was complemented by his superb presentation skills and he not only ensured we all went away with a greater understanding of the subject, but that we had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Please let me know what similar courses you will be holding in Sept/Oct (New world wines this time )

Just to let you know that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our workshop wine tasting at the Peasant PH on Saturday. Please pass on our thanks to Clive Barlow who made the day informative, interesting and funny - we came away absolutely certain we will put our friends to shame when tasting the chosen wine! Our family are delighted that their Christmas present has turned out so well.

Hi, just wanted to say that Saturday was great, we learnt a load and had a fantastic time although I should probably learn to spit next time as was a bit drunk by lunchtime! The guy running the course couldn't have been better.

Just wanted to thank you for the excellent One Day Course I enjoyed today. Katherine was an absolute delight and was as extremely knowledgeable as you would expect from a Master of Wine. She was both interesting and informative, answered all questions and gave every participant her attention.

On top of that our lunch was also 'top class'.

I very much look foward to the other courses I will now sign on for.

Fiona

I think it’s a really interesting day and great to do something different. Richard was great, really knowledgeable and credible but not at all stuffy about wines – Really good – thanks v much for a great day.

Kate

Just wanted to let you know how much Daniel and I enjoyed the Old World Workshop on Saturday 5 July. Nick was a superb host and his enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject was greatly appreciated.

Shall certainly be recommending this particular workshop and know that Daniel is very keen to pursue one of the lengthier courses you offer!

Robin and Lynne Worthington

Dear Lana and LWA team

Thank you.

Lynne & I had a great day on Saturday at the Peasant.

It was a well structured day and Clive Barlow was excellent as an entertaining and educating speaker.

The lunch was delicious - I had the lamb, my wife the venison.

We particularly appreciated the service, attentively topping up the water jug, vital lubrication throughout the day.

I re-read the description of the course when we got home. Your description is completely accurate - and it was fun - we had a good crowd.

best regards

Nick's Level 1 course was outstanding!

Although many of us had different levels of knowledge and experience with wine, we all enjoyed participating in the course and felt that we learned a great deal of content and confidence through Nick's instruction. Nick's considerable wine making knowledge and experience as well as his practical guidance helped us to work through evaluating various aspects of each wine.

At the end of the course, we all agreed that the course was excellent, Nick was a fantastic instructor, and that we looked forward to Level 2!

Barry

... I enjoyed the course immensely. Yes I would travel all over london for the courses. The tutor whose name i have forgotten (pardon my ignorance) was from NZ and he was great. He got the points over easily and was clear and concise. The food was superb (i will visit again). I actually wanted the course to carry on. I think the course is good value for money and has given me a new confidence with wine. In your questionaire I have nothing bad to say to. All i can say is, keep up the good work and please keep me informed of offers on courses

Deborah

Course Tutor was excellent. The anecdotal input really helped to bring the history of the Bordeaux region to life. Very enjoyable atmosphere and loads learned.

James Stratton

Customer comments about the level 2...

"I am writing because I have just finished your intermediate class and am not alone in thinking that it was excellent, but that there should definitely be a still more advanced level. I both congratulate you on the course so far and strongly urge you to consider a further level. I think you'll find that the demand exists."

Craig Butcher

I was given a gift voucher to attend the Food and Wine Matching Course at Lindsay House last Saturday and just wanted to extend my thoughts to you, in no particular order.

I thought the course was absolutely fantastic -- one of the best things I've been to, done or seen this year. The wine expert, Dawid, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and had a terrific sense of fun, demystifying as he agrandised his subject.

Food was varied, interesting and definitely not for vegetarians -- which is a good thing, but perhaps less so for veggies?!

The wines themselves were thoroughly enjoyable, great to learn the history and appreciate the tastings without any snobbery.

A great occasion to meet others with differing backgrounds but similar interests.

I work for two food magazines (Sainsbury's and delicious) and have already recommended your site to colleagues.

So, many thanks for organising the day, I have already raved about it to friends.

All the best with the site,

Craig

Alison

Dear London Wine Academy

My friend and I attended the food and wine matching course at the Lindsay House last Saturday (14th March). I have to tell you it was a truly fascinating and utterly entertaining day! Dawid Koegelenberg is a real character and provided a wonderful show for us. He made everyone feel so welcome and comfortable and I certainly feel I know considerably more about wine now than I did before I attended the day. The food was completely delicious - Dawid and Richard Corrigan and his wonderful chef are to be congratulated for creating and producing such a fabulous menu.

I now intend to go on one of your further courses to learn even more about wine.

Thank you for putting on a wonderful day - I am recommending it to all my friends.

Best wishes,

Ali

Wine and Food Matching at Corrigan's Mayfair - It was a present – but one of the best dining experiences I have had – very very good. Dawid was excellent. My job is in training and I don’t think I’ve seen better. I genuinely couldn’t fault anything.

Mr Jones

Having attended the Italian Food and Wine matching workshop on 5th June I would like to say that we enjoyed the occasion very much. The food and wines were excellent but what made the occasion was the expertise of the course presenter who was not only exceedingly knowledgeable but had a very relaxed and enjoyable presentation.

Thank You.

Helen Smith

can tell you that we had a really wonderful time at the Italian food & wine workshop - it was like a mini-holiday! The wines & food were delicious, the presenter well-informed but very approachable, the pace of the day was perfect and the seating arrangements in tables of six was just right to allow easy conversation.
