Wimbledon Wine
Wimbledon Wine School is an Approved Programme Provider for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. We also host regular themed wine dinners often with guest wine makers as well as hosting corporate events at our venues or in your office.
Our aim is to make understanding and learning about wine as interesting and as fun as possible. It is all about getting you as close to the vineyards and the hugely talented wine makers as possible without actually being there – although we arrange vineyard visits as well!

WSET’s Level 2 Award in Wines is a beginner- to intermediate-level qualification, suitable for both industry professionals and wine enthusiasts, and intended for those wishing to learn about a wide range of wines. (Please note – it is not necessary to have completed the WSET Level 1 before studying Level 2... if you're a wine drinker already you will be fine.)
You’ll learn about: the principal and regionally important grape varieties of the world, the regions in which they are grown, and the styles of wine they produce.
Through a combination of (fun!) tasting and (interesting!) theory, you’ll explore factors that impact style and quality and learn how to describe these wines with confidence.
For individuals seeking a core understanding of wines, this qualification explores the major grape varieties and important wine regions in which they are grown. You’ll learn about the styles of wines produced from these grapes as well as key classifications and labelling terminology. A basic overview of the key categories of spirits and liqueurs will also be provided. Upon successful completion you will receive a WSET certificate and lapel pin and will be able to use the associated WSET certified logo.
