What our students say about us:

Great fun - I feel like I've learnt a lot and would definitely be more confident in choosing and talking about wines.
Introduction course, May 2001

As a teacher I think I'm pretty hard on other people's pedagogy - but I thought this was spot on! Fun, lively, informative. Not snotty or stuffy at all. We want more...
Introduction course, July 2001

To be honest, I just wanted to do a course for my CV and job but have honestly really enjoyed the lessons, the humour and the relaxed way in which what could have been boring has been made enjoyable for all levels. Well done!
Introduction course, July 2001

I think the course is just right - I never felt over-awed and I actually learnt without realising I had which was great. Well done!
Introduction course, September/October 2001

I feel much better informed and now I will savour and enjoy my wine a bit more rather than downing it in one like the student that I am.
Introduction course, September/October 2001

Fun and informative - a must for those involved in the business or with a genuine interest and a desire to know more about what you're chucking down your neck!
France, the home of wine, March 2002

Hugely insightful and interesting for someone like me who knows nothing about wine.
Introduction course, June 2002

Great fun, could only be slightly improved with feathers, magicians and sparkly costumes!
Introduction course, June 2002

Nothing to fault!

Spain and Italy course, October 2002

I really felt it gave me an insight to wine. It was an interesting, fun and light-hearted approach. The cellar provided just the right atmosphere!

Introduction course, January/February 2003

Great, quirky and relaxed.. as ever. I have learned loads and hope to put it all in practice with some educated New World drinking!

Wines of the New World, May 2003

The wide variety of wines to try, the incredible knowledge of Henry and Richard and the relaxed atmosphere have all made this a fantastic 3 weeks!

France, the home of wine, September 2003

The teachers were very laid back, not snobby, not pretentious, but also professional, helpful and knowledgable.

Introduction course, October/November 2003

What fun! I enjoyed Monday so much I just wanted to let you know that you have converted a bit of a wine novice. I am now boring my friends senseless with my new wine knowledge. Thank you again for a great night.

Mini masterclass, January 2004

I just wanted to tell you how much I and my hens enjoyed our wine tasting
session with Richard. He really tailored the session well to the audience
and was really friendly and knowledgeable. We all had a fab time, learnt some new things about wine and would definitely recommend you.
