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.
