Description

Our One Day Introductory Wine School is a relaxed yet educational experience, designed to introduce you to the basics of wine tasting and the classic grape varieties. Your tutor will guide you through wines in pairs, helping you to compare and contrast them and then think about your observations, linking these to the climate and country where the grapes were grown. We will cover all the elements in the glass from acidity through to tannin, alcohol and oak. At the same time we cover the key grape varieties and the regions where they are grown. You will discover that you knew much more than you gave yourself credit for and also be reassured that all your intuitions about wine are correct. The morning tutorial is followed by a superb four-course food and wine matching luncheon, during which you will have the chance to practise your newfound skills.

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.
