Welcome to The English Wine Masterclass
This masterclass is your invitation to taste what all the excitement is about, in a warm, welcoming, and wine-filled setting
It’s not just the London Wine Academy who are excited about English Wine. French Champagne houses and international producers are buying up English vineyards because they see the future here. Our chalky soils and cool climate mirror Champagne’s conditions of a generation ago — and the results are outstanding. By joining this masterclass, you’ll taste wines that are making history and understand why England is now one of the most talked-about wine regions in the world.
Whether you’re a curious beginner or a confident enthusiast, this masterclass will give you a deeper understanding of English wine, confidence to choose, serve and recommend English bottles in your own life, and even a chance to taste wines that are winning international awards – and raising eyebrows in Champagne itself.
Join the London Wine Academy for a class of fizz and fun, and if you thought that English wine began and ended with Sparkling, we’ll leave you in the proud knowledge that our vineyards can do that and more.
