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
Take a tour of the Golden State with our One-Day California Wine School. California produces over 90% of the USA's wine, and this tasting will be a chance to explore the wide variety of styles emerging from its range of climates.
From delicate whites to booming, full-bodied reds – not to mention some off-the-beaten track styles – come along and learn why California is still the hottest state for wine in America. You will start with a morning tasting 11 wines, followed by a four-course lunch in our historic Napoleon Cellar with a further eight wines. Hosted by Barbara Drew MW
