8 week Introduction to the World of Wine (Kensington)
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.
"I completed the 8 week introductory wine course - what a brilliant course! Relaxed evenings with some fantastic wines to taste (and yummy cheese and nibbles!). I would highly recommend this course - and have done so to all my friends" (Lucy, 8-week Course November 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.
