Welcome to The Sparkling Wine & Afternoon Tea Experience
Champagne, Crémant, Cava. Scones, Sandwiches, Sweets
Those hours between lunch and dinner famously stretch an unfortunate amount of time, to the point where a lady had to take it into her own hands and break that ever-long fast with the now staple, Afternoon Tea.
To add a twist to this traditional tea break, we at the London Wine Academy invite you to join us for an afternoon of delicious and delicate dishes, supplemented by some superb Sparkling Wines and Champagnes.
While one might die for their favourite tea type, there is something decadent and a little bit divine about sipping on Fizz and taking the afternoon to delight in delicate bites of scrumptious sweets and savoury sandwhiches.
This Sparkling Wine and Afternoon Tea Experience is the perfect London wine tasting for special occasions, birthdays, or simply an excellent afternoon out.

What will I learn during this Experience?
During this Sparkling Wine & Afternoon Tea Experience, you will hear all about the different styles and types of Sparkling Wine, their incredibly complex production methods, and perhaps even figure out just which of the many styles is your favourite.
The London Wine Academy will make sure to show you that the different styles of sparkling wine are all perfect pairing partners for different moods, foods, and occasions.
Styles to discover during the Sparkling Wine & Champagne Masterclass:
Arriving at the London Wine Academy Afternoon Tea Experience, you will be greeted by one of our talented tutors – and even better, a cool flute of English Sparkling Wine. With this first sip, discover what makes English Sparkling wine one of the most exciting new kids on the block.
You’ll then taste six different sparkling wines, including elegant Champagne, vibrant Prosecco, and artisanal Crémant and Cava — each carefully paired with delicious sweet and savoury treats from an expertly executed Afternoon Tea.
You will find the afternoon with the London Wine Academy a wholly exciting, educational, and exceptional experience, and might just prompt you to join one of our many other Wine Courses and Masterclasses to deepen your understanding of bubbles, English Wine, or even Fine Wine.
