Really enjoyable night hosted by the lovely Lorna. Knowledgeable and well delivered, I now swirl my wine glass with... confidence and have forgiven her for giving the prize of the night to my partner and not me. My description was, and still is the best!read more

I had such a good time, to be honest I knew literally nothing about wine and even I was able to keep up, kudos to you... Lorna! Also the booklet how good, although my notes did get a little bit wonky by the end 😬Highly recommend.read more

I have been to two classes ! Lorna is very passionate in letting you enjoy and know more about wines , you would... definitely like every moment during the class - meeting new friends , appreciating the differences of the tastes and aromas of the wines , learning the wine production techniques etc.I wish I can join further classes but sadly I moved out from Sydney recently 😢read more

My partner and I experienced one of the nights together a few weeks ago! Having very limited knowledge about wines and... only ever ordering “safe” wine whenever we went out for dinner, this course provided us with a great foundation!We are now more willing to order and try different wines from different regions. This has meant that we have found some more wines that we have loved that we otherwise would have never have thought to try!I would highly recommend one of these nights solo, as a couple or in a group not only for a great night but also to learn a thing or two ☺️🍷read more

Loved attending one of the intro to wine classes. Lorna is very knowledgeable, light and very accessible - no question... too silly. The wines are great and stories behind them interesting. Wonderful night out!read more

Very informative and fun! 🍷🥂🍾 I really enjoyed my evening drinking wine and learning lots with Down to a wine... art. I’m quite a newbie when it comes to wine tasting (not wine drinking) and I really liked learning about what makes different wines special in their own ways, how to taste different notes and what it all means in terms of grapes and how different temperatures/ storage methods/ fermenting can change the flavour. Also loved that I could try different wines without committing to drinking a whole glass/ bottle. I got to taste different blends which I’d never even heard of before and discovered some new favourites 😋read more

What a fantastic fun (wine) filled evening! Have recommended to all my friends to give it a go regardless of how much... they "think" they know about vino. Will be back again in the new year to learn/drink some more. Thanks Lorna!read more

Lorna brings bottles of knowledge and glasses of enthusiasm to the Intro to Wine classes. This is the class for you if... you’re a wine lover but still trying to work out your preferences. Or, if you’re sick of the vodka sodas and looking to dabble in something new. I would highly recommend this class!read more

As a wine lover - but absolute novice - I found Lorna’s class the perfecting starting point to learn. Informative... without being stuffy, fun without being forced, Lorna’s enthusiasm is infectious (and pours are generous 😉). Would HIGHLY recommend.read more

I have now been to two of Lornas wine classes and can highly recommend them. The first class I enjoyed so much that I... asked Lorna to come and do an event at a hen party I was organising. The classes are informative, fun and Lorna is able to tailor the classes to the different audiences depending on your needs. Highly recommend!read more

I attended Lorna's intro to wine class and it was not only wineducational but a lot of fun! Her knowledge of local and... global wine is exceptional, plus she also keeps the laughs coming! Would highly recommend for not just beginners, but also those who deem themselves a bit of a wine connoisseur - there's something for everyone 🍷read more

Lorna is an amazing teacher with a really easy going and friendly attitude to what can be an intimidating world! The... class was light hearted and fun but also really educational and I came out feeling much more confident in my wine knowledge! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to understand a little bit more about wine and be able to hold their own with a wine menu!!read more

My partner and I had the most limited knowledge about wine. We very much stuck to what we knew and didn’t want to... step out of our comfort zones and try anything new. Lornas class made us comfortable enough to break the stereotypes of wine and what we thought particular wines tasted like. We were able to understand the different smells and tastes of wine and it really removes the stigma of being intimidated.Surprisingly, We ended the night knowing that we both enjoyed a wine we least expected the most!Could not recommend this more and will definitely be able to take the skills and knowledge with us. Will definitely be looking to book in for future classes so we can learn about an even wider range of wines! 🍷read more

Lorna is super knowledgeable and engaging in running her class. Definitely came away having learnt something new, and... drank plenty of great wine to boot! Particularly enjoyed learning about other grape varieties that I might like matched to more well known ones to help me find something new to try.read more
