What makes our wine tastings, wine courses and wine tasting events special? Over
10,000 Satisfied Customers Great Tutors An Unparalleled Range of Courses Small
Classes Flexible Booking Impartial Advice Satisfied Customers We have been
running wine tastings and wine tasting courses in London for over 25 years, in
Manchester for over 15 in Aberdeen and Birmingham for over 10 and in Belfast for
4. Over this time, we have created a following of over 10,000 satisfied
customers. And today, over 60% of new customers book for our wine tastings and
wine tasting courses on the personal recommendation of a friend or colleague.
Great Tutors Our tutors are at the top of their profession. All are qualified to
WSET Diploma level and are members of the UK Association of Wine Educators, the
professional body for those who make their living in whole or in part from
teaching about wine. Many are also members of the elite Circle of Wine Writers.
All travel widely to keep their wine knowledge up to date. Skilled
communicators, they know how to make wine tasting and learning about wine fun.
An Unparalleled Range of Courses We were the first in the UK to offer a
comprehensive range of wine tastings, wine tasting courses and wine tasting
events designed primarily to appeal to wine consumers rather than aspiring
members of the wine trade. In addition to weekly wine tastings in London, we
organise over 30 introductory wine tasting courses a year in London and other UK
cities, over 20 intermediate and advanced wine tasting courses and, for those
with hectic weekday schedules, wine tasting workshops on Saturdays, when lunch
is an integral part of the day. Although wine consumers still make up the
majority of our customers, our London wine tastings and intermediate and
advanced wine courses are growing in appeal to people studying for their wine
trade qualifications, especially WSET Diploma and the prestigious, but for many,
elusive Master of Wine qualification. Small Classes We know of some wine course
providers who pack 30 people or more into a class. We think that’s way too many.
In a class of that size, learning is more difficult, participation is inhibited
and you never get to know the other people in the room. We limit bookings for
our introductory, intermediate and advanced wine tasting courses and our
Saturday wine tasting workshops to 16 people – much more sociable, much more
fun. Flexible Booking Many people who sign up for our wine tasting courses on
weekday evenings lead busy lives, working under pressure and travelling on
business, often at short notice. We understand the problem. If you have to miss
a course session, you may either send a substitute or pick up that session on a
subsequent course. Just let us know and we will make the arrangements. We make
no charge for this and set no time limit! Impartial Advice Many wine tastings
and wine tasting courses are run by wine merchants. Nothing wrong with that.
It’s a great way to get potential customers into their stores and promote sales
of their wines. We are not wine merchants. We don’t sell wine. We are not paid
by any wine merchant to promote their wines. So, at our wine tastings and on our
wine courses, you will never come under any pressure to buy wine. The wines we
select for you to taste are intended to illustrate the main points of the wine
course session or the theme of the wine tasting. We hope you will enjoy most of
the wines we give you to taste but don’t necessarily expect you to enjoy them
all. Your course tutor will help you to understand what makes a wine enjoyable.
But he or she will also tell you if a wine is too young, too old, too acidic,
too alcoholic or just plain faulty. Just imagine a wine merchant doing that!
Wherever possible, we buy the wines we give you to taste from local retail
outlets. We will tell you where we bought them and how much we paid. So, if you
like a particular wine, you can shop for more with confidence and without
difficulty.
