More About The Voyager Wine Masterclasses in London

Each Voyager Wine Masterclass in London is a 2.5-hour session focused on a single wine region or style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wine masterclass in London and how is it different from a beginner course?

A wine masterclass focuses on a single region or style in proper detail. Instead of covering the basics across many wine types, you spend 2.5 hours going deep into one area — tasting 7–8 wines, understanding the local grape varieties, winemaking traditions and what makes that region distinctive. It suits people who’ve already done a tasting or beginner course and want to build on that, or anyone with a genuine interest in a specific region.

Which wine regions do the Voyager Masterclasses in London cover?

The current programme includes France (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône, Loire and Alsace), Italy (Piedmont, Tuscany, Sicily and Veneto), Spain (Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rías Baixas and Jerez), English Wine, South African Wine (Stellenbosch, Swartland and the Cape), and Port (Ruby, Tawny, LBV and Vintage). Each masterclass is self-contained, so you can pick the regions that interest you most or work through the full collection.

How many wines will I taste?

7–8 wines per session, each selected to represent a specific style, sub-region or winemaking approach within the featured region. Every wine is there for a reason — your tutor will explain exactly why each one was chosen and what it teaches you about the area.

Is food included?

Yes. Every Voyager Masterclass includes a two-course meal, typically chosen to complement the wines from that region. Food and wine pairing is part of the learning — you’ll understand why certain dishes work with certain wines, not just what to drink but what to eat alongside it.

Do I need wine experience before attending a masterclass?

No formal experience is required, but the masterclasses are designed for people who already have some interest in wine and want to go deeper into a specific region. If you’ve done one of our Adventurer Tastings or a beginners course, these are the natural next step. If you’re completely new to wine, our Premium Beginners Wine Course or an Adventurer Tasting might be a better starting point.

Can I buy a Voyager Masterclass as a gift?

Yes. Open vouchers are available for any of our masterclasses and are a popular gift choice. The recipient can choose their preferred region and date. Vouchers are valid for 12 months and delivered instantly by email.

Where are the masterclasses held?

At The Punch Bowl in Mayfair, central London. It’s a well-established venue with an excellent wine list and kitchen, and a good setting for focused tastings.

How much do the Voyager Masterclasses cost?

£169 per person. That includes all wines, the two-course meal, and your tutor. There are no hidden extras.

Can I attend more than one masterclass?

Absolutely. Many of our guests work through several regions. Each masterclass is self-contained, so you can attend them in any order. Some people start with the regions they already enjoy; others pick somewhere completely new. There’s no wrong approach.
