This fantastic Saturday wine course in Lancashire is a wonderful way to wine and dine, as you spend around five blissful hours with a lucky companion, tasting a variety of delicious wines and enjoying a delicious two course lunch. The Lancashire wine tasting experience begins with a delightful glass of champagne, to wet your whistle and whet your appetite for what is to come over the next five hours! You’ll begin the tasting with a discussion on the world’s major wine-making regions, looking at new world vs. old world wines, and looking at the different varieties of grape used for both red and white wine. You’ll look at how wine is made, from the vine to the bottle, and then learn how to really taste and describe wine, taking into account both its aroma and taste. You’ll learn how to recognise different elements you will find in wines, including acidity, ‘oakiness’ and tannins. Armed with all this knowledge, you’ll then taste 12 wines, with your tutor there throughout to answer questions. You will learn about the effect of climate on wines, and the best places to find good quality, reasonably priced wine in your area. Finally, you’ll discuss matching wine with food so that they complement each other. Of course, all this wine tasting is going to work up an appetite, so you will be treated to a delicious two course meal during the day, with a seasonal menu from which to choose two delicious dishes! The perfect gift idea for men and women in Lancashire who really enjoy a nice glass of wine and some good food, this Saturday wine course is Lancashire wining and dining at its finest!…
