The Wine & Cheese Tasting Lecture Theatre

The wine master classes will be hosted by industry experts who will be delighted to share their knowledge of premium wines and inspire and entertain you. By the end of the tastings you will have learnt how to make better, informed choices about buying wine.

The UK boasts some fantastic artisan cheeses and the programme of tutored tastings is an opportunity to celebrate their excellence and to feel proud about our food heritage. Treat yourself and purchase some of these unusual and well-cared for cheeses from the specialist producers in the Cheese and Wine Pavilion.

Each seated tutored tasting involves sampling 6 wines/7 cheeses over the course of 40 minutes, hosted by an industry expert. They are about learning through enjoyment, enabling you to understand the range and diversity of the wines and cheeses available.

Demand for places will be high and you are well advised to book before the event to avoid disappointment, due to the limited number of available tickets per tasting.
