Congratulations to our latest WSET Level 2 Award in Wines students, who recently completed three intensive days exploring the fascinating world of wine 🍷🎓

Over the course, students tasted around 40 wines while learning about the world’s major grape varieties, key wine regions, wine production, food and wine pairing, wine service, labelling and much more.

From Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to Pinot Noir and Syrah, the course takes students on a journey through the wines of the world, building both knowledge and confidence along the way.

Whether taken for professional development within the wine and hospitality industry or simply for personal enjoyment, WSET qualifications are recognised worldwide and provide a fantastic foundation for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of wine.

A huge well done to everyone who completed the course and sat their examination. We look forward to welcoming many of you back for future tastings and qualifications.

Interested in taking your wine knowledge to the next level? Keep an eye on our website for upcoming WSET courses and events 🍷

🥂 Hello & Cheers🥂

I'm really excited to introduce myself as the new face of Norfolk Local Wine School. After years busily establishing 'sBeers on - I can't wait to throw myself back into the world of wine.

Jeremy's events have been a huge part of my wine journey from my first 'World of Wine' course back in 2016 including my Level 2 & 3 and a few of you may have seen me lending a hand just before Christmas.

It will be buisness as usual at the wine school with all the much-loved tastings continuing that Jeremy has curated over the years. However, I am pleased to announce that I'll be adding educational and in time tastings to the offering.

If you want to learn a bit more about me and my plans for the school, click on the link in the bio to read my first blog post. Cheers!
