As part of the Local Wine School network we are an independent wine education company whose aim is to provide wine tasting for everyone throughout Essex.
As we do not sell wine, we can show you where to buy the best wines locally and at the best prices. We work with local independent wine merchants as well as national merchants to bring you the best tasting & most interesting wines currently available.
