The only problem with France having so many historically famous wine regions is that other districts have been neglected. Better training, improved technology (especially refrigeration) and a move away from bulk wine production has led to a surge in ...
We’re big fans of Rhône Valley, and we regularly feature the wines from this fascinating part of France in our tastings. And once again, we've been offered the opportunity by Inter-Rhône, the professional association of the reg...

Bordeaux is the most famous wine region in the world. Why? We’ll see if we can answer that question in this session. There’ll be reds based on the region’s two main grapes, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and there’ll also be a...
We could easily have filled a couple of sessions with fine Australian styles, but for this first deep dive, we’ve confined the line-up to the classics. For those who still think of Australia as making wines that are all brawn and no brain, be p...
We’re going to be joined for our first ever Masterclass on the wines of Argentina by the person who arguably knows more about the country’s wines than anyone else in the UK, so much so that he’s known as ‘Mr Argentina’. ...
“That was great - what’s next?” It’s a question we’ve often heard over the past decade or more from those who’ve been to our introductory World of Wine sessions. A Deeper Dive is the answer, and it does pretty muc...
The improvement in our home grown wines over the past two decades has been nothing short of remarkable. It was sparkling wines that led the way, and we’ll be trying a selection in this tasting. But the line-up will also include some of the incr...

Those who attended our South African Masterclass last year were blown away by the quality of what we tried - expect spicy Syrah, bold but elegant Cabernet Sauvignon, eclectic blends, both red and white, and of course some fine Chenin Blanc and Pinota...
You may have seen that we’ve revamped our World of Wine Course for 2025. Rather doing a whistle-stop tour of several countries in six sessions, we’re going to linger a little longer on each, and run (probably) three different “Deepe...
Our Italian journey begins in the north, where we’ll begin by looking at the fascinating and fabulous whites from Friuli and Trentino-Alto-Adige – there’ll be a red from the latter too. The line-up will be completed with a selection...
The sunny south of Italy can produce rich, intense red wines – we’ll experience some in this session from Puglia – but there are also places such as Campania where you’ll find remarkably crisp whites as well. Add in some of th...
