6-week: World of Wine course

Welcome to our flagship wine course - a fun and informal journey through the world of wine for anyone who wants to discover more.

No previous experience is necessary - the emphasis is on learning by tasting.

This course runs one evening each week for 6 weeks (7-9pm) and is flexible - if you need to skip a night, just let us know in advance and you can pick up a repeat session.

What will I get from this course?

• Taste over 40 wines from 10 countries
• Become more familiar with different grapes and regions
• Learn how to sniff, swirl and sip like a professional
• Develop your wine vocabulary
• Understand how to read wine labels
• Discover how to store wine and ideal serving temperatures
• Understand how wine is made and the importance of soil and climate
• Learn principles of food and wine pairing
• Feel more comfortable choosing wine and recognise good value
• Understand how to spot wine faults

What if I can’t make one of the evenings?

Not a problem. You can either send a substitute or we can schedule you onto a repeat session or give you a credit to use against any event.

How is the course structured?

The course is split into two parts. The first 3 weeks look at the Old World (France, Italy, Spain and Portugal) and the second 3 weeks tour through the New World (Chile, Argentina, South Africa, USA, Australia and New Zealand). The parts can be taken separately in any order - just let us know when you book if you want to switch them around.
