education. The unparalleled expertise of our small team allied to our
friendly, informal style really does set us apart from the competition.
All our courses and events are intended and designed to be enjoyable as
well as informative. We specialise in wine courses and workshops, as well
as bespoke wine events and staff training service.
Our tutors
Our educators are the very best in their field and include Masters of
Wine, Wine Buyers and top Sommeliers. We understand that expertise is not
everything and only use passionate tutors who have the ability to
communicate and pass on knowledge, whatever your level.
Events and Training
We are experienced at organising bespoke wine events to suit your budget
and requirements, whether for private or corporate entertainment. Please

and can be tailor-made to suit your company’s needs.
One Day Workshops
Our fun and informative Introductory One Day Workshops run at weekends
throughout the year and are great for wine lovers of any standard seeking
a comprehensive overview to the exciting world of wine. Our more
specialised workshops for example the. Burgundy, Bordeaux or Champagne
Workshops may be tutored by an expert guest speaker or visiting winemaker
and will explore a region or subject in-depth. All workshops include a 2
or 3 course lunch and food and wine matching is always a key theme.
Professional tasting glasses and course notes are provided for all
workshops.
Wine Courses (6
weeks)
These structured classes follow the systematic approach to wine tasting
and cover all the main grape varieties, styles and regions of the world.
Most wines are tasted “blind” or unseen so that you learn to judge the
quality of a wine on merit, without any preconceptions. We aim to give you
the tools to understand the wines that you are drinking and the knowledge
to experiment with new styles and buy with confidence. Production methods,
ageing potential, food matching, storage conditions, wine faults and other
important issues are covered on all courses. Full course notes and a set
of six ISO professional tasting glasses are included in the Level One
price (glasses not included in Level Two price). Our Level One and Level
Two are six week courses with a two hour session every consecutive week
day evening (7pm-9pm). For a small fee, missed may be attended at a later
date. Please contact the office for full details and to arrange..
