The price is £17 per person and includes tutored tastings of white port and 10 and 20-year old tawny ports. For £26 per person, participants can also taste a 40-year old tawny port (and for groups of six or more a bottle of vintage port can be opened).
The Wine Experience (3-hour course) takes place every Saturday and offers participants an introduction to wine including the different world wine regions and the varieties of grape. Other days of the week can be arranged and pre-booked with advance warning of two weeks. The price is £60 per person (minimum 4 persons) and includes tutored tasting of sparkling wine, red and white wine and two fortified wines.
