Course Description
Italy is home to an amazing array of grapes - with around 350 varieties authorised for use in wine production! And because its inhabitants have been making wine for millenia, it has many historic, unique wine making traditions and techniques too. Tasting at least 24 wines over 4 weeks, we'll take you on a journey around Italy's diverse regions, sharing the familiar and the new, the classics and a few surprises!
From Areneis in the north to Zibibbo in the south, our A-Z of grapes will reveal a wealth of flavours and aromas across a diverse range of sparkling, white, rosé and red wines from all over Italy. We'll take in both well known and undiscovered regions, show you where to look for bargains and suggest what to pair with each wine each week.

Including...
The perfect place to start your Italian wine tour! Piedmont is home to some of Italy's most iconic wines, including fragrant Barolo, made from Nebbiolo grapes. Plus tasty reds from Barbera and Dolcetto, delicious whites and superb sparkling wine too!
Veneto is home to some of Italy's most popular wines, such as prosecco and Pinot Grigio. But it's a region rich in other treasures too, including Soave and Amarone, and a host of lesser know grape varieties such as Ribolla Gialla and Teroldego.
The hills of Tuscany have been producing quality wines for centuries, with Chianti long established as one of Italy's best red wines. Here the Sangiovese grape reigns supreme but there are many more varieites to discover - track them down with us!
The warm south of Italy is a tresure trove of wonderful wines. Alongside powerful Primitivo, there's a wealth of lesser know varieties to get know such as Aglinico and Greco di Tufo, plus wines from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna to enjoy!
