YOU'LL GET SO MUCH OUT OF THE EXPERIENCE

Our courses are something which you will gain from for your all life. The sessions are aimed to help you gain confidence in discussing wine and wine topics in a range of environments such as social events, work circumstances and dating.

In saying this, the main purpose of the course is to LEARN and have FUN!

Wine Appreciation with Amandine courses are a concentration of Amandine's years of working within the wine industry, along with various recognised wine studies. Amandine can provide participants with a Certificate at the end of the course.

If you have any questions about the courses, or a wine related query please contact me via email.

Le Petite

PERSONALISED COURSE

Our courses are purposefully designed as individual or small groups to ensure all those involved feel comfortable to ask the queries they may have. The environment is professional, friendly and educational.

Where courses are held for groups, this is a group of your choice (as you book together), and therefore will not be put in a position where you are sharing a session with strangers. It's a great experience for partners, family and friends!

Discretion

YOUR PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT TO US
