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.
