Kevin Ecock's School of Wine

All of my courses are suitable for beginners and anyone who wants to learn just a little bit more - and that includes me!

I am a member of the Association of Wine Educators     -     one of only two in Ireland!

I am a licenced lecturer on behalf the Wine Board of Burgundy (BIVB)   -   one of only three in Ireland! 

NEW to the Calendar this year is a Wine Club in Ardclough near where I live in Co. Kildare.

After a year it will become a members club. In the meantime I will get it up and running. It's called it The AC Wine Club - Ardclough......AC.......

Kevin Ecock's Wine Appreciation Course

Spring 2011 course was excellent. Thanks to all who made it so good!

I am now taking bookings for my Autumn Course. I realise  that it is becoming harder and harder to find discretionary cash any longer. So, I have slashed the cost of my course down from 180Euro to only 100Euro for the six week course and will continue to offer a 10% discount for two or more bookings made at the same time!

Venue: The excellent Courtyard Hotel in Leixlip

Dates: Six consecutive Tuesdays beginning on October the 25th

Format:     Each evening lasts for an hour and a half. The first part is a lecture followed by a 45 minute wine tasting                   based on the lecture.

                  All course participants are supplied with wine tasting glasses, course notes and a lot of fun.

                  It is essential to book beforehand.

I still run my courses in a slightly old fashioned way where I assume that everyone knows nothing at all! This allows me to begin at the very beginning and deal with what everyone seems to want to know - how wine is made and where it comes from. We work our way through the world of wine from grape growing to wine making and on to the finished bottle.

My courses spend a lot of time tasting wines. Let's face it, useful wine knowledge is about what's in the bottle and not what's in the books. Everyone learns how to taste, spit and to analyse. This is the fun bit and this is where I learn as much as you do.
