A five week exploration of the world's prime regions
It's spring and as sap, energy levels and daylight hours all rise, we offer a chance to taste and learn a bit in convivial company. This is both a fine way to achieve self-improvement and spend an evening having fun. So the Educator has arranged an introductory course comprising 5 sessions, each of two hours and with six wines to taste. You receive a course manual with space for your notes together with maps and plenty of useful information. Who should take this course? Anybody who wants to feel more confident when faced with a list of wines, for a start. Then if you enjoy wine and want to discover more about its history and production this is for you.

Unveiling Valpolicella and the Veneto
with Colin Wills, Uncorked educator

Localism, tradition and terroir
Valpolicella is arguably the heart and soul of the Veneto, but thanks to the demands of the bulk market has, for many people, become a devalued brand. If that's your experience of the region we're going to shake your foundations with some of the world's most complex and imaginative wines. We have a token white, but our focus is the finest reds and our evening is constructed around a serious look at one of the greatest winegrowers of the 20th/21st centuries. Giuseppe Quintarelli was Valpolicella's conscience and inspiration. This is a rare chance to taste a range of his wines.
