Since 2014, Essex Wine School has been helping people discover, enjoy and understand wine through relaxed, expert-led tastings and courses. Whether you’re completely new to wine or already a keen enthusiast, our events are designed to build your confidence, broaden your palate and introduce you to exciting wines and styles from around the world — all in a welcoming, social atmosphere.
You’ll meet like-minded people, taste exceptional wines and leave feeling inspired (and a little bit smug about how much you now know).
Wine Tastings, Courses & Gift Experiences in Essex
Our wine tasting events make fantastic gift experiences and are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events or simply a great night out.

Why Choose Essex Wine School?

• No pressure to buy
• No sales pitch
• Just great wine and great teaching
All wines are carefully selected and sourced from local and regional and national wine merchants, so you can taste widely and objectively.
