One Day Wine School
Our one-day wine schools are a great way to get a thorough overview of a region in a day.
Starting in the morning with tea and coffee on arrival, we spend around 2 hours exploring the region, with 8-12 wines showcasing all different styles. With the basics covered, we head to our vaulted Napoleon cellar for an aperitif and to put the morning’s education to the test with 5 more wines paired over a delicious lunch, crafted by Head Chef Stewart Turner.
The day finishes around 3.30pm.

Description
The quality and diversity of Austrian wine is just too good to ignore, and so we are delighted to host this One-Day Austria Wine School to show you the very best of what the country has to offer. Exciting and under-rated, Austria boasts wonderful indigenous varieties such as Grüner Veltliner, allied to a complex stylistic patchwork which runs effortlessly the gamut from sweet to dry. There are of course excellent Rieslings, as well as fine red wines and top-class Chardonnays which often outperform the best White Burgundies in blind tastings. Laura Atkinson, our Austrian aficionado, will today guide you through an intriguing selection of these great wines in a morning tutorial session, before you enjoy more with a fine four-course luncheon.
