Class includes a petite cheese plate and wine tasting experience.

Wine Camp: An Introduction to Wine

Anonymous review on 2/5/2024

A fun and convivial intro lesson in wine. I would have liked a little more structure, but enjoyed the class and learned a lot more about wine, the wine business, and general things to consider when choosing a wine.

I truly enjoyed Wine Camp - An Introduction to Wine. I did not know much about the wines of France before the class but learned a tremendous amount and can now go into a Wine Store and make great choices of wine. I discovered my new favorite white wine in the class. Wish I lived in California so I could join the dinner and wine pairing events.

I was not able to connect due to the internet. I requested the video and the link did not work. Just too difficult to try to do these classes on the west coast when you live in the southeast. Not very user-friendly.

We weren't allowed in the room until exactly 3:30 pm, course was suppose to be 2 hours long or longer. We were dismissed from class at 5:05 pm. 25 minutes before 2 hours were up. I thought we would learn more about pairing wine with food.

doors opened promptly at 3:30 but class was over just after 5:00. They even sent out email the night before saying class usually runs longer than the 2 hours. Feel like we were cheated out of something. In the hour and half we were there, I hoped to have learn a little more about wine than about Ian's trip to France Would not recommend this class.

The wines we tasted were all very good. It was worth it. Our instructor, Ian Blackburn, is so knowledgeable. I think the tuition could be cheaper though - like $50. Or, he could have offered us pizzas or sliders, instead of just a small plate of cheese. This way, there would have been more value for the tuition.
