Product: 90068000651
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
Italy is as famous for its wines as for its cuisine. However, it can often seem like one of the more confusing wine-growing countries, with over 2,000 grape varieties cultivated. Over a delicious gourmet meal, your host and Italy expert Chris Pollington will guide you through the country’s key wine regions, from Piedmont to Sicily. Bottles of the definitive Italian styles will be enjoyed in a leisurely, yet educational, fashion alongside an appropriately Italian-inspired menu.
