Course Description
Welcome to our flagship wine-tasting experience - a fun and relaxed tasting tour through the beautiful world of wine for anyone who wants to learn more or expand their horizons.
We cover all the essential details in just six weekly sessions! You will discover new wines and learn about the grapes grown in each place.
This is a relaxed, social course (no exam, no homework). We focus on learning by tasting and having fun. It's one evening per week and if you need to skip an evening just give us notice and you'll be able to attend that session on the next World of Wine course.
The first 3 weeks explore the Old World and the second 3 weeks tour through the New World. You can book them seprately if you wish and the two parts can be taken separately in any order - just let us know when you book.
In addition, you are invited to join us for a private tasting of a glass of sparkling wine at 6.30pm, before each evening formally starts, with our wine educator.
