Course Overview

Want to improve your wine knowledge from home? This online wine courses is for you! This virtual wine course and wine tasting experience will be delivered online each week. The eight-week course is a practical introduction to the world of wine. The course will focus on the ‘old world' wine regions - principally France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal and Austria. We will also taste three wines each evening from the classic wine regions of Europe.  The course is designed specifically for people who enjoy wine and would like to learn more about it. You do not need any previous experience.

How will it work? Each online class will be delivered live over a two-hour period, with a tutored tasting included. During the online class and tasting we will explore in detail the wines, the terroir and areas they are from. It will be a fun, social, and interactive experience. In order for you to engage fully with this course we suggest you purchase a selected list of 24 wines. We will advise where these may be purchased and delivery can be arranged for a small additional cost. You're welcome to invite a friend or partner to share this class.
