Sample the best from the WSET School London cellars as we dust off old and rare bottles – this time from Italy's Tuscany and Piedmont regions.

Event details

Join us for an intimate tasting of outstanding aged wines from Italy’s greats. We've journeyed deep into our cellars under Bermondsey Street and unearthed a stellar selection of mature wines from Tuscany and Piedmont.

Hosted by Italian wine expert Jason Millar DipWSET, you'll sample a flight of wines from some truly iconic producers. You'll learn about the history of each glass and pick up tips on how to store and serve well-aged wine.

Enjoy your wines alongside a selection of Italian cheese and salumi from La Fromagerie and Borough Market, as well as a welcome glass of Champagne.

Spaces are limited so book soon to avoid disappointment.

This tasting will take place seated on comfortable bar stools around the long table in our Diploma Suite.
