Wine Tasting Bristol & Bath:

Champagne & Sparkling Wine Masterclass

Be entertained, informed and inspired with a fascinating and fun comparative guided masterclass of champagne and other quality sparkling wines from around the world.

Some wines will be made in a similar way to the wines of champagne, others not - and there will certainly be one or two surprises in store as we taste 'blind' to compare them against each other, focus on taste and quality without preconception, and teach you how to spot which is which.

We’ll take you on a tour around the vineyards and cellars of the world to learn how each of the main styles of sparkling wine are made and the impact of climate, grape varieties, and production method on each of them. Along the way we’ll teach you how to taste and assess sparkling wines for quality, what to look out for in each style, how to read labels, how to find quality and value, what and when to keep sparkling wines and how to store them, plus much more besides.

We’ll include focus on the wines of champagne, how and where they are made plus a brief history and a guide to the different grapes and styles. We’ll also teach you about the other key of sparkling wines of the world and what makes each unique, and give you an essential guide to glassware, service and storage with food pairing ideas for each style. You’ll leave with tasting notes to take away and an unforgettable education and new appreciation of all things sparkling!
