Introductory

Begin your journey around the wonderful world of wine on one of our introductory events

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 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. 

Our World of Wine evenings focus on a particular country or region (e.g. Rhone Valley, Chile, New Zealand etc.) and guide you through a delicious selection of wines which represent the local area. Great for discovering new favourites!

If you would prefer a more in-depth introduction to the world of wines take a look at our 8-week Wonderful World of Wine course. Your tutor will take you right across the globe; tasting, learning and making new friends as you go.
