Description:

The Spectator Wine School is a chance to be tutored by the best in the wine business. It is aimed at enthusiastic beginners and anyone who wants to know more about the main wine regions.

Over eight weeks, the magazine’s Wine Club partners will each give a class on their specialist region. The final session will be a tasting hosted by Pol Roger Champagne.

Course description

The course lasts for 8 weeks and the maximum capacity of each class will be 20 people, ensuring individual attention.

The Wine School is for beginners and wine enthusiasts who’d like to learn more. The first class covers the basics from how to taste wine to the importance of terroir. The next six classes cover a different wine region, and the final class is all about Pol Roger Champagne.

Students will have the opportunity to taste wine with Jonathan Ray, as well as receiving a certificate at the end-of-course Pol Roger Party.
