LEARNING IS GOOD

Wine is, in our view, the most fascinating subject. Making wine is a science but intepreting & appreciating it is an arts subject, as deep and life changing as music, literature or art. It's where the cerebral meets the sensory. We want you to join the wine journey with us so that opening a bottle of wine will never be the same experience again! The Somerset Wine Co. is an Approved Programme Provider of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), the recognised international body for wine education.
