With a passion for wine and impressive credentials to boot, Neil Bull set up Essex Wine School in 2014. WSET-trained, and also a WSET programme provider, Neil seriously knows his grapes – and he’s passionate about sharing his wine knowledge with fellow wine lovers.

Neil knows how to have fun with it, too. Neil hosts an array of classes, workshops and experiences, from cheese and wine nights to gin and tapas nights and port and whiskey tastings, none of which are ever dry (pun intended!)

On top of being a fun and informative way to get to know more about tasty tipples with like-minded people, Neil’s classes, workshops and tastings also make great gifts for people. Events are regularly held in Chelmsford and Colchester, and there’s also the option to attend online sessions, too.

So if you’re passionate about Pinot, or want to become more savvy about Sauvignon, Essex Wine School might well be the place for you. It’s certainly one school we wouldn’t mind doing homework for… hiccup!
