Wine, Dine & Unwind

THE PIG’s 24 hr hands-on introduction into the world of wine

Wednesday 20th November 2024 & Wednesday 5th February 2025

See, sniff, sip and savour….

The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 1 Award in Wine is perfect for those wanting a beginner-level introduction into the world of wine. With the expert guidance of our resident wine guru, Luke Harbor, you’ll explore the main types and styles of wine through sight, smell, and taste, while also gaining the skills to describe wines accurately and make food and wine pairings. Best of all, it’s a small, intimate group, so you’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, share laughs, and bond with fellow wine lovers as you learn together over some good bottles of wine!

What to expect?

Arrive at 9:30am at THE PIG-at Combe where you’ll meet Luke and your fellow wine enthusiasts for tea, coffee and fresh pastries in the Georgian Kitchen. Here you’ll dive into the essentials of wine-tasting, learning how to see, sniff, sip and savour a variety of wines.

After you’ve worked up an appetite, you’ll tuck into a sharing feast of fresh garden pickings before continuing your wine education through the afternoon. Over lunch you can also start checking into your rooms if you wish! The course finishes with a short exam to make sure you’ve absorbed the essentials before coming together for a celebratory glass of fizz and Piggy Bits in the Wine Cellar.

The rest of the evening can be spent at your leisure enjoying a 3-course dinner from our 25 mile menu before collapsing into a bed so comfy you won’t want to leave!

Wake up in the morning to a full, hearty PIG breakfast in the restaurant where you can dig into our PIG grazing breakfast tables, pick something hot (or tuck into both!)
