French wine tasting session run by Edinburgh Local Wine School at the Novotel Edinburgh Centre.
French Wine Scholar is coming to the Novotel Edinburgh Centre on Tuesday 12 January 2027, starting at 19:00. It's a French wine tasting session run by Edinburgh Local Wine School, so you'll be spending the evening working your way through a selection of French wines rather than just chatting about them.
The school is part of the Local Wine School Network, which describes itself as "the world's fastest-growing network of independent wine schools, teaching fun, accessible wine courses at all levels – wine tasting for everyone". That's the side they lead with, but they also run professional courses and qualifications for anyone looking to start or develop a wine career, so there's a path from a casual tasting night into something more serious if that's your thing.
It's a fairly wide-reaching operation: the network runs across more than 40 locations across the UK, and they've been featured in The Daily Telegraph and Time Out Magazine. They also do gift vouchers that stay valid for two years, which is a handy bit of info if you're thinking of this as a present for someone else.
