What our customers say...

Dear Gary,

After having experienced your wine tastings as a way to learn more about wine and subsequently as the host of a fabulous wine tasting party for our company, I am writing to thank you for putting on such an excellent team-building event for us. 

You bring a unique blend of knowledge, experience and most importantly good humour to your work and as a result everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The whole experience was very well organised, from the choice of wines to suit our budget and the theme of the event, through to arranging it, having wine delivered and the event itself.

As well as learning a lot and having a good time, you also helped to bring us together and provided some much needed light hearted entertainment after a difficult year. I would highly recommend you to anyone either wanting to learn more about wine from a real specialist, or wanting to treat their team or clients to a fun experience.

Steve Brown, Managing Director, Europrojects

We asked Gary to come along and organise a wine tasting 'competition' for a birthday celebration.  None of us were wine buffs, but we all felt we learned something and most importantly Gary managed to provide the perfect mix of fun and education.  There were lots of laughs but also lots of interesting facts and questions.  I'd highly recommend Shropshire Wine School for any sort of event where you want to create lasting memories.

 If we are ever in the area again I'll certainly be in touch and I'll definitely shop for wines with a different attitude now.

Catherine Starling, Staycationer

Gary's wine tasting was such a lovely way to round off our staycation in Shrewsbury! Our entire group loved the experience and we even went on to purchase some of the wines we tried. The selection of wines for the tasting are very accessible and reasonably priced if you did wish to buy any at the supermarket etc like we did. The quantities of wine are generous and the games fun. If you are simply interested in trying new wines or you genuinely would like to learn about wine Gary is your man!
