We're very proud of our teaching faculty, who deliver our WSET courses and tastings to the highest possible standards. Overseen by our School Principal, Richard Harding, they each bring specialist-level knowledge, passion and humour to the classroom and share a commitment to providing you with a fun and rewarding experience.
Collectively they combine a broad range of backgrounds, including grape growing, winemaking, research, sales, marketing, bar/restaurant management, sommelierie and retail. They are all WSET Certified Educators, our wine educators all hold the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines and several of them are Masters of Wine.
