FAQ
The Classic Beginners Wine Tasting Course, is aimed at Beginners, and offers a lovely 2 – Course lunch included in the ticket. However, the Platinum Wine Course starts with a glass of bubbly on arrival: followed by a 3 – course lunch (instead of 2 courses), plus tea, coffee & Petit Fours to end. Wines will be at a higher price point. Due to the nature of the more expensive wines tasted, The Platinum Wine Course will make a great experience for Beginners to Intermediate tasters that are keen to try more expensive examples alike. The Platinum Wine Course runs at our exclusive small Boutique Hotels or Private Members Clubs, in St James’s or Mayfair.
