'Fun & engaging! I really found my passion for wine after this class' Hannah
'The best wine education session I have done' Tim
'What a wonderful way to learn more about wine appreciation instead of just drinking it and never giving it another thought.
Loved the plate with all the items you could sniff to identify the flavour you were trying to identify in the wine.
The atmosphere was great and the presentation fantastic.
The meal afterwards soaked up all the wine and was top notch.' Eric
