We had a wonderful evening with John’s excellent wine tasting event for my Step-father’s 70th. It was a great way to spend the evening with all the family during a time when we couldn’t all be together. John was really informative and some fascinating stories and facts! Really enjoyed it. Thank you!

I am very impressed on how effective the study guide for WSET1 helped me prepare for my test in Brazil. I am almost sure I scored the 30 points and now feel much more confident to try the WSET 2 and 3 exams having the Northern Wine School study guide as an ally. Becoming familiar with the English wine terms certainly will help me if I ever reach level 4

I attended the Level 1 course in Manchester. The day was a combination of some theory and practical tasting skills. I learned about food and wine pairings, which was very useful. John made the day interesting and fun

Had a great time at the gin tasting with afternoon tea, really enjoyed it. Got chatting with all the other people who attended, as it was a small group and it was a great atmosphere.

My wife and I went on the afternoon wine tasting event. We both really enjoyed it. It was an enjoyable and relaxed way to spend a couple of hours while drinking and sampling a lovely range of wines- and actually learning something about it all along the way! John clearly also really knew his stuff. The whole thing was good fun.

We'd booked with John at Northern Wine School for a steak dinner with wine tasting at a private room in Malmaison for a stag. Room was ecellent, food was good and lots of it- John hosted the evening well. Great evening, everyone thoroughly enjoyed- would highly recommend

Northern Wine School

The Northern Wine School was set up to offer wine tastings in Manchester. These soon spread to Liverpool and, before long, we were offering courses too: WSET and Wine Scholar Guild. We are firm believers in the idea that more knowledge makes more love – and what’s not to love about wine, spirits and sake?

Thousands of people have enjoyed our tasting events and we have trained hundreds more helping them get qualifications and lots of knowledge too. This makes us really happy.

Keep in touch and we’ll let you know about new tasting events, gifting ideas and the training we offer: cheers!
