One Day Wine Tasting Courses & Experiences
Covid-19 Update – 4 June 2020
At present we are cancelling all our evening tastings and one day courses on a rolling 4-week window. The rolling window will continue until the government’s position on group gatherings indoors/social distancing allows the events to take place safely and within the guidelines. When the event is cancelled the attendee will be contacted and will automatically receive a new open-dated voucher to use against the same event at a future date. The voucher will be valid for 24 months from date of issue.
If you have a voucher that is due to expire, please book a date as normal and we will issue you a new voucher if we have to cancel the event you have booked. If you are vulnerable and do not want to book any of our forthcoming dates and have a voucher that is about to expire, please contact us with the voucher code and we will issue a new voucher with a 24 month expiry date.
