FAQ
Whilst the content of the Premium Wine Tasting Course is identical to the Beginners One Day Wine Course, the Premium Beginners Workshop is held at the esteemed 5 Star St James’s Hotel in London and the Green House Hotel in Bournemouth. A mix of contemporary, classic and up and coming wines are selected by the tutor for the day. Both venues are very exclusive, small Boutique Hotels.
This is a friendly and personal Introduction to Wine Tasting and no previous experience is necessary.
Course Venue
The Green House Boutique Hotel
Serious about luxury, passionate about sustainability
On the face of it, The Green House is simply a beautifully restored, 32-room Grade II Victorian villa in the heart of Bournemouth, perfectly nestled between Dorset’s finest blue-flag golden beaches and the ancient mysteries of the New Forest.
Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll discover that they eat, sleep and breathe sustainability. So much so that we’ve been recognised as one of the world’s top eco-hotels.
After a painstaking 18-month refurbishment during which they considered the environmental impact of every single decision, they opened in April 2010 to rave reviews. The awards have been rolling in ever since.
