Saturday France vs New World Wine Tasting in a beautiful Cambridge College!

Taste and learn about French vs New World wines comparing side by side and BLIND! Taste 13 wines including Champagne and a delicious two-course lunch. Hosted in one of Cambridge's oldest colleges.

Come and enjoy a friendly, informal and fun wine journey through OLD WORLD and NEW WORLD wines, tasting at least 13 wines from around the world.

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!
