West London Wine School

Just did the French Wine Scholar with Jimmy (and others) at WLWS. Great way to learn a lot about French wine. The wine and nibbles provided for each session are excellent and the tuition of a very high standard. Highly recommended.

After being recommended the 8 week introduction to wine course at the West London Wine School by a colleague, I decided to enroll and I am so happy that I did! ! Each week, I really looked forward to the class- though it is on a weekday evening, I didn’t feel tired as the class was so engaging, fun and interesting! It was so fun to taste different wines from grape varieties from different parts of the world, with cheese pairings. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone interested in learning more about wine- I really appreciate the fact that I have been able to increase the breadth of wines I tried and like!! Rosie was a super super amazing teacher- she was knowledgeable, fun, friendly and engaging. Thank you Rosie, I am so happy I got to learn from you!! More...

Wonderful school with fantastic tutors and an extensive range of classes. I had a great beer course experience, with a professional and knowledgable instructor who really knew his stuff. I will absolutely be returning for my Level 1 WSET course. I highly recommend this school. More...

Good classes and great teachers. Classes are quite busy. Not a very inspiring building. Would be nice if there were some windows.

Would highly recommend this Wine Tasting Day, as a gift to others ... or self Our wonderful host and tutor Shane, guided us on a very well structured journey through the basics of understanding what aromas, colour and flavours to look out for in a number of red & white wine varieties. With a lovely pub lunch as a half-time break, to refesh and revive...Starting with a champagne ending with dessert wine and cheese, this was a fun and informative day out, with a wine professional who made us all welcome and answered all our wine questions, in depth and with great aplomb... FAB Day! More...

WSET Level 2 - and it was such a great experience, learned a lot and can’t wait to put the learning into practice! Shane was great, very structured and organised and highlighting all the important bits you need to know for the exam!

Very hard to find, if you do go there, go to the main entrance of the big yellow and go down in the lift to the basement

Introduction to Wine course - at first we had relatively sceptical ideas about the school due to the location (Big Yellow Storage unit). However, all our scepticism vanished after a brilliant introduction from the tutor Jimmy and his wife Beth.The day started off with Champagne, moving on to a white and a red with lunch (lovely lunch at the Sands End pub) before returning to the school to finish off with a lengthy wine selection / tastings and pairings. A thorough introduction to wine was had and we would certainly recommend attending the course. Good fun, informative and knowledgeable tutors (also plenty of wine...) More...

Wasn't sure what to expect at first when we walked into a big yellow storage unit, however we were pleasantly surprised. Our host was very knowledgeable, friendly, and - most importantly - passionate about wine, and that reflected inctje information sue gave us throughout the experience. For our money wee got to try 5 excellent and varied wines, as well as 2 bonus glasses which they were trialling. An excellent introduction to the world of wine for people with little knowledge of the subject More...

If you want to know a little or a lot about wine then the West London Wine School is for you. They teach you about wine in a relaxed way. Whether your there just to try wine or to further your curiosity it will fulfil your wine needs. I have so far done the 8 week course with Shane WSET Level 2 with Quentin. A Champagne Evening with Jimmy and a vertical tasting of Lopez the Heredia. I shall happily return to further my wine knowledge More...

Amazing wine school! They also have many different quality wine private and group tastings. Jimmy and his team are best teachers ever. They also do French and Italian Wine Scholar study and certification program which I might do in the future. Highly recommended! More...

I have just completed the WSET Level 2 course here, and very much enjoyed the experience! Was simply looking to deepen my knowledge of wine, to better appreciate wines on their own and in food pairings. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and the classes a lot of fun. I would like to complete Level 3! Would recommend! More...

I have been two a few tastings at the West London Wine School but last nights was fabulous. I took my girlfriend and her father along for a birthday activity to 'Jimmy’s bad ass Beaujolais' tasting evening. It was very much enjoyed by all….not just because there were 12 wines! (At least 4 more than I’ve ever had at any other tasting).
Between the three of us we have been to a fair few tastings across London and also various wineries when on holidays but none have been delivered with such enthusiasm and passion for the wines on show.
Not being familiar with Beaujolais it was great to hear about the history and evolution of the region and to try wines that I would never seek out or really come across without this sort of evening.
Overall the whole evening was great value and a very welcoming environment to learn more about quality wines and how they end up in your glass.

Thanks Jimmy and team! More...

I've organised a team event with work in a restaurant in Clapham, where I wanted to run a wine & cheese tasting session before dinner. The team at West London Wine School was incredibly supportive and worked directly with the restaurant to arrange everything: delivery of glassware, wine and cheese in advance.

Shane, the tutor was absolutely BRILLIANT. Knowledgeable and above all energising and FUN, which is exactly what I wanted. Tasting was amazing, the night was a huge success and the team had a blast!

Fantastic. 5 stars. More...

An excellent place to either learn about wine, I'm on the wset3 course, or just have a fun but educational time around wine. The tastings are great value and led in an unstuffy fashion, a recent Domain Huet tasting going back to 1939 was truly special, highly recomended. More...

If you want to spend an interesting couple of hours learning about wine, then this is your place. Even if you know nothing at all about wine, you’ll enjoy yourself in the friendly and fun atmosphere, with enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very unstuffy tutors !
I would recommend going and will definitely keep going there myself in the future. More...

I've used the Wine School twice now, for a beginners 8 week course and more recently for the WSET Level 2 course. Cherie and Quentin are fantastic teachers and really bring their enthusiasm for the subject to the courses. They also make the subject matter approachable for new comers and do away with a lot of what could be off putting about the subject. More...

I studied my WSET Level 2 at West London Wine School and the quality of the teaching was superb. I also went to some of Jimmy's public events and it was such fun the whole experience was instrumental in making me want to set up my own wine school. This is what I noticed about the evening tastings... The venue was filled with people of all ages who were loving learning about wine in a thoroughly down to earth way, the table was laid out very professionally and everybody had 7 glasses, one for each wine (not just one or two like you get at most other Wine Tastings) and the quality of the information was superb. The professional WSET course was so well taught I passed with distinction! Thanks Jimmy - you are an inspiration to me. More...

I would thoroughly recommend West London Wine School for those looking to learn more about wine or beer. Those (like me) looking to broaden the range of wines they know and enjoy should consider attending the 8 week "Introduction to the world of wine" course - the wines tasted are all easily available and are not expensive. The tutors are knowledgeable and, most importantly, fun. Other events, such as fine wine tastings or events focussing on specific winemakers or regions allow more in-depth learning (or drinking...). The school has also started running beer tastings and if you think you don't like beer, give one of these tastings a go - there really is a beer for everyone. More...
