Taste and learn about French vs New World wines comparing side by side and BLIND! Taste 13 wines including Champagne and a delicious two-cou
No previous experience necessary!
Beginning with Champagne, watch us open the bottle by 'sabrage' (using a sabre)!
At Cambridge Wine School we host our Saturday Wine Courses in the beautiful surrounds of Gonville & Caius college. It's one of the oldest university colleges in Cambridge (founded in 1348) and Professor Stephen Hawking is a fellow.
Half way through the day we take a break from the hard work of wine tasting to enjoy a delicious two-course lunch.
This fascinating course is a great introduction to wine comparing the classic wine regions of France directly with the best the New World can offer using the same grapes!
