One-Day Bordeaux Wine School, Saturday 16th May 2020

This event includes a complimentary set of four Wine Merchant’s Original Wine Glasses (worth £34.50) for you to take home on the day. Find out more.

An understanding of Bordeaux is essential for any wine connoisseur. Our one-day course will help you discover why the region has such an enviable reputation as you learn about the landmark 1855 classification and taste a variety of red and white wines.

Not only will you have the chance to compare and contrast all the famous communes, but you will also taste some more mature examples. All this will be followed by a Bordelais-themed lunch in our cellars, accompanied by even more fine Bordeaux as it is meant to be enjoyed – with excellent food. By the end of this hugely enjoyable day, you will have a deeper understanding of the region and the ability to navigate the Bordeaux section of any restaurant wine list with ease. Hosted by Mark Pardoe MW, Wine Director
