Event Description

This is your chance to find out.
"I recently attended the blind champagne tasting class in Brighton. Jonny who runs the class is very informative and keeps it fun with interesting facts. You get a lot of champagne for your money and for 2 hours it is good value. You also get some nice nibbles and cheese. I would recommend this tasting for wine enthusiasts or to buy as a gift for someone." Anka M
