An eight week exploration of the world's prime regions
Lengthening days are the perfect motivation to get out more and learn something new. The chance to taste and learn a bit in convivial company is a fine way to achieve self-improvement and spend an evening having fun. So the Educator has arranged an introductory course comprising 8 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.

Spain's finest
Vega Sicilia is one of Spain's most venerable and historic institutions. For a long time a lonely outpost of civilisation in Ribera del Duero, this high altitude producer of Tempranillo now has outposts in Toro and Rioja, but this evening we restrict ourselves to the home region. Be prepared for depth, complexity and length.

Alion 2012, 2011 and 2009
Valbuena 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 1997
