BRISTOL Wine Courses £75

Bristol Saturday Introduction to Wine Course - 11am to 4 pm - including Champagne & delicious 3-course lunch @ award-winning restaurant - only £75.

Passionate about wine & want to learn more? This day is a fascinating introduction to the World of Wine. Do you want to discover fascinating and delicious new wines & grape varieties? Do you want to taste a wide variety of wines and understand what makes them so different ? Do you want to know which wine to drink with what food? Then these are the courses for you !   It is also a great way to meet new friends who share your love of wine.

The day is above all, fun & entertaining with a relaxed atmosphere - no previous wine tasting experience is required. The best & most enjoyable way to learn about wine is comparing the tastes of different wines side-by-side.

We also always focus on food & wine matches, and explain what type of foods would go with the chosen wines, and more importantly - why!

Whilst all our tutors are WSET-qualified and have extensive experience of wine, they more importantly have an infectious enthusiasm for their subject and are able to communicate this to their audience without the use of confusing (& boring!) technical facts. 

We teach people about wine by concentrating on the flavours and aromas of the wines. We focus on the taste profile of each wine explaining the characteristics of the grape variety, the climate, and the winemaking, and show you with maps and photos where they came from and how they are made. We explain why they taste like they do and ask and listen to what you think about the wines. 

The Course is held at a great Bristol city-centre location - Goldbrick House - 69 Park Street, West End, Bristol BS1 5PB

This Course also makes a perfect Gift . You can buy an OPEN GIFT VOUCHER which can be used for any date - with NO EXPIRY DATE.  We will post you a Gift Voucher/s in an attractive presentation wallet, left blank for you to add your own message. The Gift Voucher & Wallet will arrive in a plain envelope so the gift remains a secret!  Delivery is FREE & there is NO EXPIRY DATE on our Gift Vouchers!

The courses run on several Saturdays throughout the year - so there will be plenty of dates to choose from!
