Our relaxed Intro wine tasting evenings are perfect for anyone who wants to learn a little more about this fascinating subject and discover new and exciting styles of wine.
The Introduction to Wine evening or Saturday is your one-stop-shop where you can pick up all the tips and tricks on how to enjoy wine like a pro. We cover tasting technique, key grape varieties and a simple look at the role of climate and winemaking techniques.
We have a whole range of evenings pairing wine with Cheese, Charcuterie, Crisps and Chocolate, all of which are aimed at people who want to enjoy great wine with great food, and pick up a few tips about wine and food pairings through experience!
If you would prefer a more in-depth introduction to the world of wines take a look at our Wonderful World of Wine course. Your tutor will take you right across the globe; tasting, learning and making new friends as you go.
