Course Description
“That was great - what’s next?”
It’s a question we’ve often heard over the past decade or more from those who’ve been to our introductory World of Wine sessions. A Deeper Dive is the answer, and it does pretty much what it says on the tin – it’s your chance to take a closer look at the main wine producing countries. And whereas in our introductory WoW course we typically look at just six wines, for these there’ll be at least eight, and occasionally nine.
For this six-week course, the deep dives are into France, Australia and New Zealand. You can book individual sessions at £40 each, but buying all six together costs just £210 – or £35 per tasting.
(You can also book just the four French sessions for £150 HERE)

We’re big fans of Rhône Valley, and we regularly feature the wines from this fascinating part of France in our tastings. And once again, we've been offered the opportunity by Inter-Rhône, the professional association of the reg...
Bordeaux is the most famous wine region in the world. Why? We’ll see if we can answer that question in this session. There’ll be reds based on the region’s two main grapes, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and there’ll also be a...
We could easily have filled a couple of sessions with fine Australian styles, but for this first deep dive, we’ve confined the line-up to the classics. For those who still think of Australia as making wines that are all brawn and no brain, be p...
Yes, Sauvignon Blanc dominates production, but there’s so more to The Land of The Long White Cloud than just some ‘Savvy’, as this tasting will show.
