The Red Wine Tasting Course: Discover the complexities on a course designed to deepen your understanding and enjoyment. You’ll explore wines from renowned regions, learn how to taste them properly, and gain the confidence to appreciate their unique flavours and styles.

Learning how to taste red wine can be more challenging due to its intricacies. Red wines often involve multiple factors, such as tannins,  acidity, fruit aromas, maturity, higher alcohol levels  and the influence of oak ageing. Tannins shape the wine’s structure and texture, while oak ageing can introduce flavours like vanilla, spice, or smoke. Maturity further transforms the wine, adding depth and layers of complexity.

These elements make red wine tasting a fascinating yet intricate process. It requires practice, a refined approach, and the right guidance to fully appreciate its nuances. That’s where our Red Wine Course comes in. Led by one of our  expert tutors, you’ll learn how to identify key flavour profiles, distinguish between tannins and acidity, and recognise the impact of oak and maturity—all in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.
