Overview

This relaxed and informative class is perfect for anyone celebrating a special occasion or a group of friends looking to do something out of the ordinary in the countryside. Hosted by the eponymous Hawkins Bros., who produce and sell English wines exclusively from their base in Surrey, our short course will introduce you to English wines from the South East of the country.

On arrival you will enjoy a glass of Hawkins Brut Reserve 2013 before tasting two further English sparkling wines and three still wines. Along the way you'll get a brief history of English winemaking, learn the techniques involved and find out why English fizz is beating the world.
