Wine Courses

Do you want a more in depth understanding of your favourite tipple? 

With 20 years of experience in the wine trade, I can tailor a course to your needs. Held in a venue of your choice, all you need to do is select which course you wish to follow. 

I can run these courses at your home, at a village hall or other suitable venue or even virtually through Zoom.

The Wine SOS series offers single classes, introducing the basics of a particular aspect of the wine world.  The Wild About series provides a more in depth look at all things vinous.  

For each series I will provide the glasses, wine and course materials.  All you just need to bring you, your friends, or colleagues.
