Each tutored tasting or masterclass is designed to introduce you to new, perhaps lesser known English wines. Explore the counties of England and how the wines differ depending on where they’re made and by whom. Uniquely, the way they interact with food plays a big role when tasting with Toby. All experiences will consist of a minimum of five wines, each from a different English county.
Toby will talk you through each perfectly chilled glass of wine. Whilst you enjoy them, he will explain how they’re made, give you some information about the vineyard itself and answer any and all questions you may have (they tend to become slightly more imaginative the further into the tasting you get!).
Whether you’re a wine professional, private collector, English wine aficionado or discovering these wines for the first time, every masterclass will be completely unique to you, your guests and level of knowledge to ensure you get the most out of your experience. The perfect way to celebrate all occasions from birthdays to anniversaries, romantic evenings, or simply to enjoy a sunny afternoon at home with friends. There’s always a way to drop a little English wine into your next event!
