Having found out that you could do qualifications in wine, I was very excited and thought that this would give me a good excuse for the odd tipple. Please be aware that having done the courses, I am more fickle with the wines I purchase, although, by no means am I a wine snob!

I achieved a Diploma in Wine when I was well into my 30’s and one of my class was over retirement age so it is never too late to start.

I am able to teach Wine at Intermediate and Advance Certificate levels, please speak to me about what these entail. I am also available for additional assistance in blind tastings and tutorials at Diploma level.

However Wine is fun. I am able to put together an evening, or afternoons entertainment on wine tasting or food matching. The cost will very much depend on the style of wine you wish to use and the price of the wines, however the full service is put together.

I will supply glasses, wine and tasting notes for the whole group. I would suggest that a group is not more than 10, however if you want a structured tasting then I can do a “classroom” set up, including the above.

An example of some of the recent sessions I have done:

However, I am able to customise sessions to your requirements.

The emphasis is always on fun, and bear in mind that the great majority of wine is made to be enjoyed. I can also arrange tours of local vineyards and trips abroad. These can include as much wine tasting and relaxation as you wish. Prices depend on what you require.
