Our Introduction to Wine Tasting Evenings show you how to taste like a pro, and take you into the world of wine tasting - the perfect start on your wine journey!

For drinkers who want to explore the wonderful world of wine

Our flagship World of Wine courses offer a comprehensive introduction to wines. Your tutor will take you right across the globe; tasting, learning, and making new friends as you go. 

For the studious...

WSET Levels 1 and 2 are fully-accredited courses in wine both aimed at beginners. The one-day Level 1 course gives an overview, whereas the 3-day Level 2 course gives a fuller picture. Each is a fantastic treat, whether for a studious acquaintance, or for yourself!

Train Your Nose!

If you want to develop your aroma-spotting skills, why not check out the Nez du Vin kit? These remarkable kits help train your aroma memory and teach you how to recognise & describe the key aromas to be found in red & white wines.
