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.
