Wine Tasting

Wine! You may have plenty of  experience but little knowledge!  You may have a good grasp of different flavours and grape varieties, but lack the terminology to express yourself. 

With increasing sensibilities to the way our food and drink is made and whether it is ethically sourced, perhaps you would like to educate yourself on the environmental factors that influence the flavour and quality of wine that you love.

Perhaps you want to optimise your experience, knowing which wines to drink when they are young and which to keep for a special occasion in the future?

Learn how to select your wines based on grape variety, region, age, fermentation, and how to get the best out of them. Discover how the same grape variety can taste completely different at different temperatures or when grown in different climates and soil conditions. 

Learn how to taste effectively, sniffing, swirling, spitting and in which order you should drink different wines to get the most enjoyment out of the experience.

Visit different regions, see how the wines are produced and discover how the fermentation process can vary and have a dramatic impact on flavour and quality.

Does modern technology take away the romance? Is there any longer such a thing as a bad year.

Educate yourself in this ancient art form, immerse yourself in wine culture and history. Learn the tricks of the trade or go on an adventure, to the new world or the old, with one of our passionate experts.
