Event Details

Get to know the best England has to offer with the Observer wine correspondent David Williams.

In recent years, a number of England's top sparkling wines have beaten the biggest names in Champagne in wine competitions around the world – and the phrase "world-class English wine" is no longer an oxymoron. But just how good are English wines really?

In this special, two-hour Masterclass, hosted by the Observer wine correspondent, David Williams, you will get the chance to see what all the fuss is about. Using a tasting of some of the leading examples of English sparkling wine as a backdrop, David will look at why England is so well suited to sparkling wine, explain where and how it is produced, and also ask what other wines, if any, work well in the UK.

Guardian Masterclasses



The Guardian is proud to announce Masterclasses, an ambitious international programme of face-to-face courses across film, food and drink, gardening, music, photography, technology, writing and other disciplines.

Directed by leading figures across a range of different specialisms, our courses will adopt a serious approach to learning without working to a bland and prescriptive syllabus.

Cookie-cutter philosophies, jargon, catch-phrases and buzz words will be replaced with masterful insights from practitioners – insights formed by achievement, recognition and years of hands-on experience.

Our Masterclasses will not provide a magic formula or a rule book for achieving success – these concepts simply do not exist.

Instead, in venues chosen to inspire and provoke open-minded thinking, our programme will aim to set the bar high and offer stimulating and enlightening experiences. Hard work, perseverance and a sense of humour are the watchwords for anyone wishing to attend.

You'll find all the latest courses on this microsite - and there are plenty more in the pipeline. Call Lucy on 020-3353 3099 to find out more.
