Course Wines
It is recommended that six wines are tasted as part of this course, although this is optional and not essential to complete the course. Please note that the cost of wines is not included in the course fee above. We have put together a recommended selection of wines, specifically designed to accompany the course and illustrate key learning outcomes. We have been able to negotiate a specially discounted price, only available to our online students, of £57 including delivery, for the six-bottle case. Details of how to order your case of wines will be provided when you book your place.
