Beginners Winetasting Course

The Beginners Course is an introduction to basic tasting technique, covering the world’s major grape varieties and their varying styles from the principal wine producing countries. It illustrates what to expect from different types of wine, which qualities to look for, how to describe them, & combining wine with food. It aims, in particular, to help you describe and appreciate different styles of wine, to perceive and articulate differences in quality, and to make up your own mind what you like. 40 wines are tasted, with prices ranging from £5 to £35; the average being £7 to £12 a bottle.

The courses take place at 10 Hatton Garden, London EC1N 8AH (see How to Find Us). They start at 6.30pm, and run for about 2 hours though, because of the amount of material to cover, the first two evenings may last a bit longer and they usually finish at 8.30 to 9.00pm.

The Beginners Course costs £299 inc. VAT.
