Such an enjoyable experience with a good range of wines . mark passed on so much information about wine I feel I am more confident to buy wine now

You don't just taste wine. You learn so much more than names of the wines. It's a history lesson, it's a geography lesson, it's a lesson on how to focus your attention to what you smell and taste. Mark's step-by-step guidance during the taster sessions are invaluable.

Wine and cheese night was great fun. Got lots of questions answered and learnt how to go about pairing a wine with a cheese or indeed any food. Makes a great present

Superb Italian wine tasting day - Mark was excellent and made the day enjoyable and informative! We came away knowing much more about how to choose wine to go with food and how to know what you’re picking in the supermarket, all while having great fun.

I ve always shunned cheese and wine events because if the truth be told, I don’t like wine much (okay, it’s effect is acceptable enough). I have fairly recently developed a passion for cheeses so I thought this would be worth a go for at least 50% of the sustenance on offer.Mark made this event very pleasant indeed. The education was interesting and fun. Infotainment at its mouth swirling best. The dialogue accompanying the chewing and the sipping and flavour mingling was excellent. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Better than I expected even if I repeatedly found that the cheese simply rendered the wine less unpleasant!!Would I go again? Yes! With more cheese and crackers to accompany the wine!

Our wine tasting day was absolutely brilliant. Mark is an excellent teacher. He is down to earth and entertaining and there was no pressure to have any prior knowledge. The wines were great, and together with a lovely lunch, it made for a very enjoyable day. I would thoroughly recommend it.

My friend and l had a great time at the Venetian Bar, tasting and learning about Champagne, Prosecco and Cava. The talk was very entertaining and Mark has a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes to impart.The evening was made even more special when my friend took on the challenge of removing a champagne cork with a sword.All in all good valve for a superb evening.

A delicious learning experience in beautiful surroundings.There is lots to discover about wine, and no better way to learn.

We were bought an ‘Introduction to Wine by Grape’, a three-part evening class at Cambridgeshire Wine School for my husband’s birthday. It was such an enjoyable experience. It certainly got us through the doldrums of the January blues, the Ukraine War, the NHS in crisis and economic gloom! I hope we are not shallow people!We looked forward to our Tuesday night sessions. We were introduced to a wide variety of wines and educated about the grapes by our host, Mark. He managed to draw even the shyest of us out of our shells with his well-placed questions. He was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and charming. The group was small and informal. By the end of the three weeks, we all felt like good friends. I would highly recommend this course for both beginners to wine tasting and those who have some knowledge of wines already.

Would definitely recommend these events. We went to the Italian wine tasting day. The setting in the Cambridge college and lunch was fantastic. Mark was a great host and so knowledgeable and passionate, the information was pitched exactly right, we all learnt something and had a great experience at the same time.
