The Yorkshire Local Wine School

  We are a local, independent wine education and experience company which specialises in hosting tastings and events in Leeds, York, and Harrogate.

Wherever you are on your wine journey, we’re here to inspire you to learn more, taste more, and discover new wines. Dive deeper into wine on one of our tastings or courses or explore our wine experiences that bring every glass of wine to life.

Our tastings, courses and wine and food experiences cover everything from Introductory Sessions, 4 weekcourses, even WSET courses and accredited diplomas.

But it's not just about the wine, it's about the atmosphere, it's about meeting new people who share your interest, it's about our passion for wine. That is what sets us apart. Have some fun, taste different wines, make new friends, and learn a little something along the way...
