8 week Introduction to the World of Wine Course

WHO IS THIS COURSE DESIGNED FOR?

The introductory 8 week Wonderful World of Wine Course is structured as a practical introduction to the world of wine. It is designed specifically for people who enjoy wine and would like to learn more about it. You do not need any previous experience, the emphasis is on learning by tasting different varieties of wine with friendly people. It is also a great way to meet new friends who share your love of wine.

"Fantastic course, very friendly atmosphere" (David & Kathryn Hockley, 8-week Course April 2011)

What if I have to miss a session? We understand most Londoners have a hectic schedule therefore the course is flexible and you can redeem missed sessions at a later date or send a subsitute. We run this course several times a year.
