Mark presented a superb evening. He chose a wide range of high quality cheeses and skill fully selected wines to compliment them. All delivered in a friendly, humerous and inclusive manner.

Wine and cheese night was great fun. Got lots of questions answered and learnt how to go about pairing a wine with a cheese or indeed any food. Makes a great present

We attended the Taste of Italy Saturday course at Madingly Hall and had such a great day. As well as tasting 13 different wines we learnt an enormous amount about the Italian wine industry and various classifications which was fascinating. During the tasting Mark always encouraged us to form and share our own opinions on the smell and taste before sharing his, which I think is the best way. Mark was very approachable and only too happy to answer any question we put to him, and I am certainly thinking about doing another class in the future. The venue itself is also great. It’s a beautiful place and there is plenty of history to investigate should you wish to. Overall, a great experience.

Entertaining and informative tasting with cheese and wine! Learned some new facts and tasted loads of good stuff. Looking forward to attending more events

You don't just taste wine. You learn so much more than names of the wines. It's a history lesson, it's a geography lesson, it's a lesson on how to focus your attention to what you smell and taste. Mark's step-by-step guidance during the taster sessions are invaluable.

We attended the Italy one day course at Madingley Hall and had to leave a review to say how brilliant the day was! Mark’s style is perfect…informative, easily understandable and very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to take part in the course and sample over a dozen different wines. Lunch was superb too! Highly recommended! We can’t wait to try another one of the events. Greg & Ruth.

My friend and l had a great time at the Venetian Bar, tasting and learning about Champagne, Prosecco and Cava. The talk was very entertaining and Mark has a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes to impart. The evening was made even more special when my friend took on the challenge of removing a champagne cork with a sword. All in all good valve for a superb evening. Jan Walker

Really enjoyable day of wine tasting yesterday. We both had a great time and cannot recommend this enough.

I had a fun evening learning about Spanish and Portuguese wine. Mark was a well informed and welcoming host. I would recommend this as a fun interesting night out.

Mark is a great and engaging host, who makes learning about wine both fun and interesting. Would highly recommend!

Superb Italian wine tasting day - Mark was excellent and made the day enjoyable and informative! We came away knowing much more about how to choose wine to go with food and how to know what you’re picking in the supermarket, all while having great fun.

Would definitely recommend these events. We went to the Italian wine tasting day. The setting in the Cambridge college and lunch was fantastic. Mark was a great host and so knowledgeable and passionate, the information was pitched exactly right, we all learnt something and had a great experience at the same time.

I ve always shunned cheese and wine events because if the truth be told, I don’t like wine much (okay, it’s effect is acceptable enough). I have fairly recently developed a passion for cheeses so I thought this would be worth a go for at least 50% of the sustenance on offer. Mark made this event very pleasant indeed. The education was interesting and fun. Infotainment at its mouth swirling best. The dialogue accompanying the chewing and the sipping and flavour mingling was excellent. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Better than I expected even if I repeatedly found that the cheese simply rendered the wine less unpleasant!! Would I go again? Yes! With more cheese and crackers to accompany the wine!

A very relaxing, entertaining and educational day which I thoroughly enjoyed. Mark has a warm, thoroughly engaging manner who gently guides you through the nuances of the various wines but without any air of pretension! A lovely day. We’ll be back.

Very relaxed, enjoyable evening. The evening cover wine tasting for all levels, professionally presented in a small wine bar...

Very good course. Very interesting and learnt a lot. Found new wines I didn't think I would like and now I love. Very well taught.

We were bought an ‘Introduction to Wine by Grape’, a three-part evening class at Cambridgeshire Wine School for my husband’s birthday. It was such an enjoyable experience. It certainly got us through the doldrums of the January blues, the Ukraine War, the NHS in crisis and economic gloom! I hope we are not shallow people! We looked forward to our Tuesday night sessions. We were introduced to a wide variety of wines and educated about the grapes by our host, Mark. He managed to draw even the shyest of us out of our shells with his well-placed questions. He was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and charming. The group was small and informal. By the end of the three weeks, we all felt like good friends. I would highly recommend this course for both beginners to wine tasting and those who have some knowledge of wines already.

Such a fun and interesting day. Mark is an excellent teacher. I am excited to do more courses in the future.

The 8 week introductory wine tasting course is a thoroughly enjoyable experience and a great way to learn the basics of wine tasting and appreciation presented in a very friendly, social atmosphere by our extremely knowledgeable host.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Level 2 course. Mark was patient at answering any questions we had and although I have enjoyed wine for many years I genuinely feel I now understand it so much better! It's also opened my curiosity (and courage) to experimenting with lots of wines that were never on my radar before. Thank you Mark - it was excellent.

My husband and I had a most wonderful evening, met some some lovely people, its amazing what you can learn within 2 hours ! Highly recommend. Thanks Mark

I attended a wine & cheese tasting evening with 2 friends last week. A very enjoyable evening, Mark is very knowledgeable & selected & good variety of wines & cheeses for us to taste. We look forward to attending another one very soon.

A really lovely evening - fun and informative. We so enjoyed it Mark explains the principles brilliantly and we left feeling inspired (and equipped) to spend a bit more time selecting and savouring wine in future

Mark has a deep and insightful knowledge of everything you could possibly ever want to know about wine. The wine choices he makes are excellent ones and in a relaxed friendly environment he ensures you have a fun gastronomic experience.

A very informative evening in good surroundings and very well organised. Mark's light hearted delivery was excellent. The advice was totally unbiased as no wine was being sold. Would certainly recommend to friends and go again. Cheers

Had an amazing evening of wine and cheese tasting at the 50/60 Lounge in Cambridge, Mark is a very experienced and knowledgeable taster and I have learnt so much not only about wine and food pairings, but also about how these are influenced by the vinification process and geographical origin of the grapes. All the information was delivered in a precise and technical language while also keeping a down-to-earth tone that never made a minute of the class feel boring! I highly recommend Cambridgeshire Wine School to everyone interested in understanding more what goes behind an excellent cheese and wine pairing.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, Mark who conducted it is extremely knowledgeable, but makes what seems to be quite a deep subject very easy to understand and a lot of fun with his easygoing nature and humour, he has given me a better understanding of the wine I drink and the work and expertise that goes into making it. I would most definitely take part in another ,course conducted by Mark, without any hesitation. A brilliant and fun day, highly recommended.

Our wine tasting day was absolutely brilliant. Mark is an excellent teacher. He is down to earth and entertaining and there was no pressure to have any prior knowledge. The wines were great, and together with a lovely lunch, it made for a very enjoyable day. I would thoroughly recommend it.

I bought tickets for a days wine tasting for my husbands birthday and it was certainly a treat, and we learned quite a lot too. This is an independent tasting so no particular wine to promote, and Mark has done a good job researching his wines and gives details of cost and where it can be bought from which is really useful.
