The Loire Valley is remarkable not only for its beauty but for the diversity of its climate, and, as a result, the style of its wines. About 500 kilometres from west to east, the region is the source of fine whites made with Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as some seriously underrated reds from the Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir grapes. Join us for an exploration of this exciting region, touching on its dynamic winemakers and a selection of its most characteristic wines, both white and red, dry and sweet.

Enjoy a Champagne reception in the Pickering Cellar before a two-hour session designed to build your confidence in wine tasting. No matter your level of expertise, you will have numerous thoughts and impressions the moment a wine hits your palate. At this event, your host will teach you to trust these instincts, helping you grow in confidence. Tasting through eight wines from around the world, including wonderful examples from Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Barolo, you will learn to identify acidity, tannin, alcohol and the age of a wine. You will leave a more self-assured taster, equipped to discover which wines you do and don’t like, and – even more importantly – why. Hosted by Rebecca Lamont, Head of Wine School

A complex wine country with hundreds of indigenous grape varieties, Italy can be baffling even to the well-versed, and downright daunting to the uninitiated. This evening, however, is designed to demystify the region and leave you feeling confident to walk out the door and tackle your next Italian wine list with gusto. We have selected wines to showcase the classic regions along with some slightly more left-field choices. And, since we know that Italy’s wine is made to match its food, there will be a selection of cheeses and our Head Chef's Italian-themed miniature dishes for you to enjoy as well.

At one time, enquiring after a good glass of Spanish wine would likely have left you with a limited choice – red or white Rioja? The picture is rather different today, with the country in the throes of vinous revolution, making it one of the most exciting wine-producing countries. Over the course of the evening, your host will take you on a tour of Spain’s unique regions and wine styles. You’ll discover Spain’s classic grape varieties – as well as a few unusual ones – as you explore some of country’s famous regions, such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Catalonia.

One of Italy's most revered regions, this evening will be a deep dive into all things Piedmontese. From the creamy, and zesty white wines, to the rustic, everyday reds, we will build up to a focus on Piedmont's most noble of grapes – Nebbiolo.

Join us for an indulgent high tea spent tasting seven Champagnes in three flights, alongside an apéritif and a sparkling wine from England. We’ll begin the tasting with a rosé apéritif. The first flight will showcase the different grape varieties used in Champagne alongside a lobster salad and some delicious London-cure smoked salmon terrine prepared by our Head Chef. The second flight will showcase some well-known producers, comparing and contrasting different House styles. As you learn how Champagne is made, coronation chicken and a scrumptious home-made sausage roll will be served. We will then move on to discuss the concept of vintage Champagne. We will end the day with a demi-sec English sparkling wine alongside a sumptuous selection encompassing two plump scones (one fruit and one plain) with home-made raspberry jam and, of course, clotted cream, plus a delectable brownie dressed with our King's Ginger sauce. Should you happen to tire of Champagne, an assortment of artisan leaf teas will also be available for you to try. Hosted by Katie Daniel, Fine Wine Sepcialist

Join us for an indulgent high tea spent tasting seven Champagnes in three flights, alongside an apéritif and a sparkling wine from England. We’ll begin the tasting with a rosé apéritif. The first flight will showcase the different grape varieties used in Champagne alongside a lobster salad and some delicious London-cure smoked salmon terrine prepared by our Head Chef. The second flight will showcase some well-known producers, comparing and contrasting different House styles. As you learn how Champagne is made, coronation chicken and a scrumptious home-made sausage roll will be served. We will then move on to discuss the concept of vintage Champagne. We will end the day with a demi-sec English sparkling wine alongside a sumptuous selection encompassing two plump scones (one fruit and one plain) with home-made raspberry jam and, of course, clotted cream, plus a delectable brownie dressed with our King's Ginger sauce. Should you happen to tire of Champagne, an assortment of artisan leaf teas will also be available for you to try. Hosted by Katie Daniel, Fine Wine Sepcialist

The two ends of the Rhône Valley are, in vinous terms, dissimilar siblings: one lyrical, generally focused on the single varietal and seemingly taking a stylistic lead from the neighbouring Burgundian vineyards; the other broad, expansive and generous, glorying in a varied palette of grape varieties and a distinctly Mediterranean warmth. Over the course of this evening, you’ll taste 11 wines from some of the region’s most respected and renowned producers – giving you a flavour and understanding of how wine production differs across the Rhône.

Get to grips with Bordeaux as we guide you through the region, talking about its sub-regions, history and most significant wines. After a sparkling apéritif, you will try one of the region’s lesser-known styles and some entry-level Clarets, moving on to taste a flight of wines from famous names. Each glass will represent a renowned commune in Bordeaux, helping you to pin down the characteristics that typify each area. By comparing and contrasting the flavours and aromas in front of you, you will be sure to leave with a firmer grasp of the lie of Bordeaux’s land. Hosted by Isabella Cameron, Fine Wine Specialist

Although a much smaller region, Barolo is often compared to Burgundy in terms of the quality of its wines and the complexity of its terroir. As in Burgundy, wines are made from a single noble variety, Nebbiolo, and the best take years of ageing to reach maturity. Somewhat less well-known, but no less exciting, is Barolo’s neighbour to the east: Barbaresco. Here, wines made from the same grape, Nebbiolo, are said to be easier to enjoy in their youth than the famously age-worthy wines of Barolo. After a delicious apéritif, we will sample 10 wines from both regions to see whether we can detect the differences. Hosted by Barbara Drew MW, Wine and Spirits Education Specialist
