  • The Wine Appreciation course gave me lots of information I didn't have before. I enjoyed the learning methods and the layout of the module.The training facilities available are very good, clean and there was plenty of space for all of us. I would highly recommend anyone to go to a wine appreciation course as a fun mid week outing, or one of the courses if you are keen to get even deeper into the bottle (so to say)! Thank you again for an amazing course!
