Wine Tasting Experiences in the Cotswolds

Explore, Taste & Enjoy — Wherever You Are

At Cotswold Wine School, we believe wine education should be as fun and approachable as it is informative. We’re a mobile wine school, bringing private wine tastings to homes, cottages, holiday rentals and venues across the Cotswolds, Cheltenham, Cirencester and Swindon.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a hen party, planning a team-building evening or simply eager to deepen your wine knowledge, we’ll craft an engaging tasting tailored to your group.

Our Curious Approach

Our philosophy is simple — curiosity comes first.
We demystify the world of wine, stripping away the jargon so everyone can relax, explore, and discover their own palate.
Each session blends storytelling, sensory learning, and laughter — because understanding wine should be as enjoyable as drinking it.
