Not sure where to start?

Wine is for everyone, and wine tastings should be fun. We know that wine can sometimes seem a bit daunting, complicated and intimidating. Not here! We're here to help you taste, understand and enjoy wine. We'll explain everything, without the jargon, allowing you to ask all of your wine questions in a welcoming and informal setting.

We look forward to meeting you soon...

WSET Courses

Most people on a WSET course are keen amateurs. You don't have to work in the wine industry but these are the qualifications if you do take that path! A structured and fun way to learn about wine. "I finished with a world of wine knowledge and a world of love for it." Patrick L.

Some of our recent reviews:

"Given as a gift for my birthday and what a great present to receive - a four week course covering some of the best wine regions across the world. Our host Ian was very knowledgeable, answered our questions and all questions were welcomed! A casual environment to learn about wine and figure out which wines you are into! Highly recommend." Ross, Sep 2024

"Literally just finished the red wine course this evening. Couldn’t fault Ian, his knowledge and how slick the evening was. So much fun and I feel armed with much more knowledge than I expected from a 2 hour session. Book right now!" Paulo, May 2024 

"Had the pleasure of attending a wine tasting course at the East London Wine School - a great experience! Ian is very knowledgable and his passion for the subject makes the learning process both educational and enjoyable. Straight after the course my friend and I signed up for another, and will do more in the future!" Fabrizio, Apr 2024 

"Amazing experience at East London Wine School. Ian was clear and patient and very passionate about the wines we tasted which made all the difference! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about wine." Saskia, Jan 2024
