Independent Cambridge - helping you choose wine more easily

In a regular series of articles on this site, the Cambridge Network joins with Independent Cambridge to celebrate the fantastic range of independent retailers we have on our doorstep. Read this week about Cambridgeshire Wine School.

 

If you love wine and would like to know why certain wines appeal to you more than others, Cambridgeshire Wine School is for you.

Through a range of relaxed evening tastings and Saturday courses, you can learn how wines from different regions of the world are likely to vary in taste – helpful whenever you buy wine.

With a background in journalism and celebrity interviewing, coupled with a love of wine and food, owner Mark Anstead combines natural communication skills with his professional wine qualifications to offer courses and tastings that are fun as well as informative. His goal is to give people ‘a mental map’ for choosing wine.

Cambridge is a great place for Mark to run wine courses. With a number of really strong independent wine sellers (though supermarket wines are also on the menu) and some great venues (he mainly uses The Cambridge Brew House, 12a Club and Cambridge City Hotel) he is able to offer an all-round enjoyable experience.

Mark’s courses and tastings are aimed at all levels of experience and knowledge so there is no need to feel intimidated. There is an eight-week ‘World of Wine Tour’ you can block book for a £30 saving, single evening tastings themed around particular regions and Saturday Wine Courses offering a leisurely tasting of 13 wines with a two-course lunch and champagne included in the price.

You can book social evenings for private and business groups and buy gift vouchers for a birthday and Christmas that never expire! Plus there are professional WSET qualifications suitable for people working in hotels, bars and restaurants or anyone who just wants to further their personal interest in wine.
