Masterclasses
At our live festivals, as well as the main walkaround tasting you can join WineAlive’s expert presenters at our masterclasses. Providing the chance to dive deeper into the world of wine and gain insights into specific regions or wine styles, these 35-minute tutored tastings cover a wide range of subjects. Whether a newcomer or aficionado, this is the opportunity to taste and learn whilst discovering some top bottles.
Masterclass FAQs
Yes - to attend a masterclass you must already have purchased a main tasting ticket. You will need a separate ticket for each masterclass you attend. You can attend as many masterclasses as you wish in your 'tasting session’ and each is designed to last 35 minutes so there is plenty of time to taste in the walk around tasting too.
No need – when you buy your tickets from Eventbrite you’ll get a confirmation email immediately. This contains a QR code which we will scan when you arrive in the masterclass tasting area to give you access.
If you would like to change the masterclass you have booked to a different one please contact us at hello@wine-alive.com and if we have availability in the one you wish to attend we will swap your ticket.
Do come and ask at reception if there are any masterclass tickets available. However, they do sell out quickly so booking ahead is advised.
In the event that you are not able to attend our live wine festivals and masterclasses we will offer you a refund on tickets up to 30 days before the event. WineAlive charges a £5 administration fee for every ticket refunded. Alternatively, you may pass your ticket to a friend to use in your place (providing, of course, that they are over 18 years of age). Please email hello@wine-alive.com if for any reason you need a refund on your ticket(s).
All our venues have good disabled access. If you have any queries about access at specific venues, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at hello@wine-alive.com and we’ll work with you to make it work for you.
There are many spittoons placed around the tasting room and we ask you to use them. Table top spittoons are laid out for the masterclasses. There are also water stations with copious quantities of water and we encourage you to stay hydrated. We are keen that everyone enjoys themselves but we urge everyone to sip splendidly and taste responsibly. For more information please visit drinkaware.co.uk. We reserve the right to refuse alcohol to anyone who we feel has over-imbibed.
Since there is alcohol being served we do not permit access to anyone under the age of 18. This includes no access for buggies or babes in arms.
