Wine Appreciation Courses

Our 4 Week Wine Appreciation Course is great for those who love wine and would like to learn a little more. We examine how wine is made, where it comes from, why we like it and why sometimes we don't. ely provides a fun, fresh and sociable approach to wines tasting: deciphering Jargon and how to get value and the best out of a bottle.

The topics include:

principle red grape varieties
principle white grape varieties
sparkling, dessert and fortified wines
food and wine matching
understanding labels

Each evening we will taste 6 wines with a retails value of €15 - €50, serve a supper dish to match the wines and provide full course notes. The course is held at ely bar & brasserie, IFSC on Tuesday evening from 7-9pm.

Cost: €160 per head
