About Us

Sussex Local Wine School - Better wines, better planet

Sussex Wine School has been running wine tastings and wine courses in central Brighton since 2012. We'll help you experience new wines and wine styles and build your confidence with wine through tasting. You'll meet like minded people at our wine events as you discover and explore the world of wine - grapes, regions, producers, food pairing and wine tips. There's something for everyone from beginners to experts.

Fancy a wine qualification? Sussex Wine School is also the leading provider of WSET wine courses in Sussex and an approved provider of Wine Scholar Guild courses and Capstone California courses.  We are proud to partner with the Drinks Trust via their DEVELOP programme, to support those on a low income to join our flagship WSET courses. 

We partner with other Sussex based businesses and people to deliver our tastings and courses and pledge to give 1% of our profits every year to The Sussex Wildlife Trust.
