Welcome to The Lancashire Wine School

A very warm welcome to The Lancashire Wine School - an independent wine education company. We run wine tasting events and wine courses for people who enjoy wine and would like to learn more about it. No previous wine tasting experience is necessary. Wine tasting for everyone, right in the heart of Lancashire. 

  Our wine courses and wine tasting events focus on enjoying wine and learning more in a relaxed and informal setting, with friendly people. We help people enjoy wine that little drop more. If you know what you like and want to find out why, our courses provide the answer.

Our wine courses suit all levels of wine knowledge and experience, and we offer a range of courses for you to enjoy. Our 10 week wine course provides a great introduction to wine covering a wide range of topics in our World tour, the 5-week courses provide a deeper insight into a country or specific region, while our Saturday course is a great way of just sipping back and tasting over 12 delicious wines. Or try our one evening tastings, there are many to choose from, and as with all of our wine courses - no previous wine knowledge is required.

 And as we are not affiliated to any wine merchants or retailers we offer unbiased and independent advice on your wine needs. The wine course for everyone!

I hope to be welcoming you soon on a Lancashire Wine School course - Colin Burbidge.
