What is School of Wine?
School of Wine is now a Green & Blue institution turning out groups
of students twice a year who, on having travelled the world of wine with
us, often find that an interest has developed into a passion. If
already passionate, they tend to take up permanent residence in our
bars. For our part, we believe fervently in education - why wouldn’t
we? Once you know what to look for and have had 13 weeks full of truly
lovely, real wine it is impossible to return to the ranks of mass
produced nonsense.
While we take it very seriously on some levels, we do go out of our way
to make this fun and relaxed as well as hugely informative, so expect to
have a splendidly jolly time as well. As an added bonus, all students
are issued with cards which entitle them to a range of discounts while
they are on the course.
School of Wine runs from 7.45pm - 10.30/11pm, depending on the session,
although many students find that further discussion and sampling is
essential to their fully understanding a particular region and often
stay on for after school activity ...
If you would like to be kept informed of upcoming course dates, follow us on facebook or twitter. What previous Graduates say about the course:
“The notes are brilliant – an enormous amount of thought and effort has obviously gone into them.”
“This has made me aware of some wines and regions I wouldn’t have considered or known about before.”
“This course has ruined me. I can never drink a bottle of Jacobs Creek
again. My palate is now much more educated and, although I have so much
more to learn, I can now recognize a good wine.”
“A lovely, lively, fun and informative way to spend the evening.”
“ I love School of Wine – brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.”
And that was when they were sober.
