Saturday Intro to Wine Tasting in a beautiful Cambridge college – a Beauty interest event taking place on 2017-02-04 11:00:00 in United Kingdom
A friendly, informal and wine tasting journey sampling at least 13 wines from around the world – no previous experience necessary!
We'll start with Champagne and show you how to open the bottle in spectacular style using a sword (it's called sabrage)!
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 is where Professor Stephen Hawking is a fellow.
Half way through the day we'll take a break from sampling and learning about wine to enjoy a delicious two-course lunch.
