Evening Wine Schools
Join us in our atmospheric cellars to discover the world of wine at one of our Evening Wine School courses. Your host will guide you through a carefully tailored programme, designed to build your knowledge through tasting and learning.
Whether you’re looking to build the foundations of your wine knowledge or want to dig a little deeper, you’ll find our courses are a truly inspiring way to learn. Our sessions begin with a delicious apéritif before you sit down with your fellow students to taste and learn; you’ll also have a selection of nibbles – such as olives, nuts and cheeses – to enjoy as the evening unfolds.
To help guide you through the course, you’ll receive a folder for your notes and course materials; you’ll also receive a certificate on completion of the course.
Further information
Evening Wine School classes are held in the Pickering Cellar, 3 St James's Street. Your course will comprise between four and six two-hour sessions, starting at 6.30pm.

Description
This evening course is perfect for those who have a grasp of the most common grapes – perhaps having already conquered our Introduction to Wine Course – and are keen to learn more.
The course takes place over six weeks, covering the world’s most famous wine regions. You will learn about the style, quality and price of wines produced in Burgundy, Rhône, Italy, Spain, Champagne and – of course – Bordeaux. You will also have the chance to sample the Old World’s rivals, wines of similar styles being made in the New World today, deciding for yourself which you like best. You will leave the course with a better understanding of why these regions have made a name for themselves, and just what it is that makes their wines unique.
