10 Week World Course £115
“Great course, learned a lot and had fun doing it!” - 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011 NEW - The 10 week wine course was great - and it was the second time I'd done it! Chris's knowledge mixed with practical suggestions throughout the course made it both enjoyable and interesting. The choices of wine made it all the more worthwhile as, generally speaking, they would not have been wines I would have necessarily chosen. These courses are great for novices and more experienced people alike and the atmosphere is friendly and in no way stuffy. Paul R - Sep 2011 ..More reviews below....

“Brilliant course, learned loads and tasted plenty ! I did the 10-wk course about £200 overall and well worth it. Some of the wines you get a chance to taste are fantastic and you learn a great deal from an incredibly knowledgeable teacher. Met lots of new people. Really good way to spend an evening. Will definately be signing up for one of the 5-wk special courses for a specific country. Thank you!" Chris Hall. Oct 2011
