“Great fun, great wines” 5 of 5 stars "We've not been disappointed yet after attending several courses at the west London wine school in the past year or so. It's great that they give us a chance to taste some wines we might never get a chance to try, and there's not been a bad choice yet. I'd thoroughly recommend their courses to anyone wanting to improve their existing knowledge about wine, or even for a novice" (via Trip Advisor)
