Red Wine Tasting Experience

Taste a range of red wines from key regions side by side and see how grape variety, tannin, acidity, and ageing shape flavour and texture. We’ll show you why some reds feel smooth and others have more grip; which wines are best enjoyed young and which bottles deserve time in your cellar.By the end, you’ll know what you enjoy and how to choose reds to suit the moment - whether you’re drinking a glass on its own or matching it with your favourite dish.The Red Wine Course is a two-hour red wine tasting in London, designed to deepen your understanding and enjoyment of red wine. You’ll taste wines from renowned regions, learn how to taste them properly, and gain the confidence to appreciate their unique flavours and styles.Led by Masters of Wine trained tutors, WSET Diploma holders, and Master Sommeliers, your tutor will teach you how to identify key flavour profiles, distinguish between tannins and acidity, and recognise the impact of oak and maturity — all in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.You’ll taste wines blind, without seeing the label, judging purely on what’s in your glass. Every wine is chosen to represent a specific style, region, or technique. Your tutor will guide you through each wine using the Systematic Approach to Tasting — the professional framework used by wine experts worldwide.The Red Wine Course isn’t about passing exams. It’s experience-led, refined over 30 years, designed to build your confidence and help you understand what you actually like.What will I learn during the red wine tasting?
