Our World of Wine evenings focus on a particular Country or Region's wine and guide you through a delicious selection of wines.

Food & Wine evenings are also ideal introductory-level evenings if you want to learn about how different wines match different foods.

If you would prefer a more in-depth introduction to the world of wines – have a peek at our 8-week World course – look at a different country/region each night for 8 weeks.
