Wine Schools are fun

Wine schools are a great place to learn, mix, meet new friends and have fun. The atmosphere is invariably relaxed and the people who attend (and friends you will make) will typoically be 'your type of person'

Ideally any wine school should have a sommelier instructor on hand, who will not only be able to mix and pour with perfection, but also pass some of the skills on to you.
Whether you bring friends with you, or go on your own and make new friends, you will be guaranteed an enjoyable and civilised evening out.

Defintion of Sommelier

A sommelier is a  specialist, knowledgeable wine professional, typically having employment in the best restaurants. A sommelier not only specializes in all aspects of wine service, but also the skills of wine and foof matching.
A sommelier is more skilled, specialised, knowledgeable and informed than a wine waiter and this is one of the reasons why sommelier certification is so important
