Carefully selected wines, spirits and sakes
All our courses involve learning through tasting, and every wine, spirit or sake we select has a story to tell and something to teach you. Our buying team work hard to ensure that every sample is ideal for the tasting in question.
You'll have the chance to taste a broad range, from household names to rare and outstanding examples.
