Great and informative and a very knowledgable host. Only criticism was that there wasn't food accompanying the wines we were tasting. I'd gladly pay a bit more if we had some food (Tapas) as the course was conducted during dinner time so I was starving by the end of it. All in all, it was worth it.

If anything I would recomend a bigger venue, it became stuffy, and to have the doors open let the outside noise in.

Very educational, especially for people who like the taste of wine and know so little about how and why. Ben, who organised the presentation, worked tirelessly with the group, to educate us as much as possible within the 2 hours.

It is only 24 hours since I finished the wine course, but even so, tonight I found I was no longer "drinking" the wine, but tasting it. Holding the glass by the stem, oxygenating the wine, letting it reach all my taste buds,and I really appreciated the flavours of the wine. The course was fantastic, full of information, and I now look for the length, the fruits, the acid etc.Thankyou for such an ennjoyable evening and one which will be life-changing.

Ben was a great host, very knowledgeable and absolutely NOT a wine snob. He made me feel comfortable to ask questions, and I never felt left behind.

Ben was great and tailored the course to suit everyone's knowledge of wine. The venue was perfect and created an intimate, relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

I came out of this course with some general knowledge on what to look for when selecting a wine. I am now educated enough and feel confident to have a conversation about wines. The course was a little more advanced than I thought it might be, however I was very pleased with the information that I have retained.
