From Autumn 2024 we are delighted to be hosting courses with Wine with Polly at Winding Wood Vineyard.

Learn how to tell a shiraz from a merlot and a Chablis from a Sancerre with this one day beginner level introduction to wine, held at Winding Wood Vineyard, Berkshire. Together we’ll use our senses to explore the main types and styles of wine, and if the weather permits we'll step outside to learn in the inspiring setting of our outdoor classroom; the vines! 

What you’ll learn

The main types and styles of wine

Common wine grapes and their characteristics

How to store and serve wine

The principles of food and wine pairing

How to describe wine using the WSET Level 1 Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine® (SAT)

Who’s it for?

This course is perfect for anyone who wants to start learning about wine, either for personal interest or for those embarking on a career in wine or hospitality. No prior knowledge is required.

Where is the course held?

We're lucky enough to call Winding Wood Vineyard our home in West Berkshire; a boutique vineyard in organic conversion, beautifully situated between Newbury and Hungerford.
