Once you’ve submitted your request, I will come back to you ASAP with confirmation and payment information. As soon as payment has been received I will send you and your guests a zoom link and all the goodies! (Resources, printables and your tailored shopping list).

Why not arrange it as a surprise! Let me know when booking and I can give you some fun WWH ideas (and even a personalised e-card/invite for the recipient.)
Don’t forget – each tasting comes with my tailored menu pairing ideas so the party doesn’t stop when we say goodbye!
Isn't it just a lockdown activity?
Not at all! You can enjoy a virtual experience whenever you want – all you need is the internet!
How about adding that something extra to your girls nights, dinner parties or reunions? WiFi in the garden? Let’s do an alfresco tasting!
Let me bring you a slice of my French Riviera lifestyle with a unique, interactive tasting.
What makes you a wine expert?
I have over 8 years of professional experience in the fine wine industry and am a certified WSET Educator. I am also a qualified French Wine expert, receiving 99% in my French Wine Scholar exam (as well as living on the French Riviera, being fluent in French and enjoying all the wine this country has to offer!) Click here to find out more.
What times do you offer?
I offer slots during the day and evening. I am based in France so my time zone is CET. I can be flexible if you are outside of Europe however (and I have availability to match.) Get in touch and let’s chat!
How long does the tasting last?
Each experience lasts approx. 90 minutes.
Want something longer? You can extend an existing theme or go bespoke and create your own! Just let me know when booking and I will confirm the price.
How far in advance should I book?
I ask for 10 days’ notice. But if you need something last minute I will try my best to accommodate you!
What if the guests are in separate countries?
No problem! We can find a time that suits everyone. I will advise each guest on what wine and snacks to buy wherever they are! Bring your loved ones together: virtual means global after all.
Do we all need the same wines?
Not at all!
I have carefully selected a range of wines for each theme so that we’ll all be tasting and exploring the same grapes, styles and regions required for each experience. Wherever you are based. Trust me – it works!
For those of you wanting to buy wines elsewhere (perhaps a favourite boutique or your local shop) just let me know and I will scout out the best ones!
How much do people usually spend on the wine?
It depends entirely on: your budget, the number of people tasting from the same bottles and whether you want to taste 3 or 4 wines. My default suggestions are £6-£15 per bottle. But I can cater for all budgets!
I'm outside of Europe, can I still book with you?
Of course! I would be delighted to share an experience with you. I have fewer slots for my non-Europe tastings so get in touch or send a booking request and we can chat times!
TRAINING & MASTERCLASSES
What happens when I book?
Once you’ve submitted your request, I will come back to you ASAP with confirmation and payment information. As soon as payment has been received I will send you a zoom link, your printable resources and a tailored shopping list.
For bespoke options confirmation will be sent once we’ve chatted through the plans and pricing.
How many wines will we be tasting?
Both the tasting and pairing masterclasses involve 5-6 different wines. For the bespoke training it is up to you! We can discuss the best options together.
How much should I spend on the wine?
That’s up to you and depends on your location. You should start at £7 // 6€ per bottle minimum but I will guide you and send you a list of wines to buy within your budget.
What does the price include?
- Private zoom link
- Live 90 minute masterclass
- My professional PDF Resources (tasting mats, tips on how to set up and detailed guides tailored to each class) – yours to keep!
- List of wines (and snacks where applicable) to buy from your local supermarket, wine shop or online boutique
Is there a limit for group classes?
The format is the same whether it is a 1-1 basis or a group session. The fewer students there are, the more interactive your learning experience will be. I recommend a maximum size of 12 people per session.
What times do you offer?
I offer slots during the day and evening. I am based in France so my time zone is CET. I can be flexible if you are outside of Europe however (and I have availability to match.) Get in touch and let’s chat!
How far in advance should I book?
I ask for 10 days’ notice. But if you need something last minute I will try my best to accommodate you!
Do you offer in-person training?
Yes. At the moment this is limited to the French Riviera and is subject to the ever-changing local laws. If possible, it can be in your home, workplace or on board. Social distancing will need to be observed. Get in touch for pricing.
What if the group are in separate countries?
No problem! We can find a time that suits everyone. I will help each participant source the right wines wherever they may be.
I'm outside of Europe, can I still book with you?
Of course! My training sessions are open to all! I have fewer slots for my non-Europe classes so get in touch or send a booking request and we can chat times!
