Wine Masterclasses
Join us for our Wine Masterclass series for an exclusive look at the finest wines of the world with leading experts in the field.
Developing from the continued success of the popular wine courses run by Christie’s Education, these select evening classes are designed to explore further specific achievements and glories in viniculture in the elegant environment of Christie’s auction house, with all the advantages of its in-house expertise and position in the centre of London.
In an atmosphere both convivial and instructive, these courses will add another dimension of enjoyment to one of life’s great learning experiences. Christie’s expert team of Masters of Wine look forward to sharing their knowledge with you.
Future subjects for classes will include, among others, a class with the claim for the Greatest Bordeaux Vintage of the Decade: 2005 Medoc 'Super Seconds' with Michael Broadbent . The Season will conclude with an evening of Classic Champagnes in early December, with Tom Stevenson.
