    Attended an Introduction to Wine course with Jonny as the tutor. Really well run, easy introduction to wine tasting. Great selection of wine. Really great way to spend a couple of hours Would recommend to anyone.

    Great school. I was studying at WSET 2 and it was great experience. I suggest people who would like to take this course to buy books a bit earlier, one or two months in advance in order to read the material first. There was great communication with school, Mrs Lucy Bell was always helpful and she was answering fast, all zoom recordings were placed fast on the platform, all the study materials were sent on time. Great teachers, I really enjoyed and I highly recommend the school.

    I completed my WSET Level 3 recently with Sussex Wine School and it was a brilliant experience. Jonny is immensely knowledgeable which was invaluable for learning the course material and tasting approach in order to pass the final exam. Would definitely recommend Sussex Wine School for their WSET courses and am looking forward to taking part in their 2024 events (and perhaps another course!).

    I have just completed my WSET level 3 with Sussex Wine School. It was a really enjoyable and informative course. The teaching and tasting sessions were great and delivered really well. The additional resources provided by Jonny between sessions also helped with learning the course material and preparing for the exams. I would highly recommend studying with Sussex Wine School.

    Having just completed my Level 2 course at Ridgeview, I can say that the course was both fun and interesting, very well delivered by Jonny. Beautiful setting and great wines provided. Already thinking about booking Level 3 - Thank you!

    I can not speak highly enough of the knowledge, approach and support, Jonny gives to his students. I have just finished my WSET level 3 and I have loved every minute of it. Thanks, Jonny for another great course.

    We did the introduction to wine tasting course Tuesday evening and absolutely loved it. Jonny was an excellent, relaxed and friendly tutor who made everyone feel at ease and the content was fascinating. I really understand why I like the wines that do now and what I can be looking out for in new ones.

    We had Sussex wine school come to our house to do a classic wine tasting - it was absolutely fantastic! Jonny was extremely knowledgeable and very patient answering all our questions, and the wines were delicious. Would highly recommend!

    I did the WSET Level 2 online, with the exam in person at the Sussex Wine School. I have also attended tasting events here. All very well organised, interesting and challenging, with faultless admin. I did the course purely out of interest in wine and wine-tasting and I certainly learned a lot during a very enjoyable course. Our group was a mix of people who, just like me, were doing it for fun, and others who were doing it as part of a vocational requirement. The course involved 8 online sessions of approx 2 hours spread over 8 weeks, with a reasonable amount of self-study using the excellent materials provided. The exam is a multiple-choice paper, which was also a learning experience (it being about 35 years since I had last done an exam of any kind!). I plan to continue the learning when my work commitments allow this - possibly WSET Level 3 or one of the Wine Scholar courses. The tasting evenings and lunches - separate to the WSET course - are also great fun. Jonny is very knowledgeable and makes everyone feel comfortable around the subject of wine, which I know can be intimidating for some. I strongly recommend the Sussex Wine School as the place to go if you want to learn more about wine!

    Another really interesting and enjoyable evening hosted by Jonny. A good group of 8 people and a great range of wines to try and learn about. I have done a few of the evenings and courses over the past 8 or 9 years and it has really helped my wine choices. Would highly recommend.

    We did 6 evening classes with Johnny at WSET Level 2, all friends. It was excellent. Most of us will go onto Level 3 with Sussex Wine School next year.

    We had a fantastic wine tasting session with Jonny for a big group (20+). We learned a lot about the wines with lots of useful information and the relaxed, interactive approach was perfect for our group. Would definitely recommend this to anyone and would like to do it again in future!

    Jonny delivered a fantastic Level 2 course to me and a group of friends, over 8 or so very enjoyable evenings. The course content is just the right amount of challenge for those with an existing interest in wine but little academic knowledge. Highly recommended!

    Just completed my WSET level 2 course with Jonny. Amazing teacher and my group were lovely, with great insights into the world of the wine industry, in readiness for starting my International wine business degree ! - Cannot recommend enough.

    Sussex Wine School did not disappoint, we had a fun Gin tasting afternoon. Jonny was a fab host, not easy controlling 10 enthusiastic lads but he did a great job. I would recommend to others.

    The introduction to wine and wine tasting evening was brilliant, Jonny was friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended to anyone, like myself, who is clueless about wine!

    Really enjoyed the introductory tasting course last week. Jonny gave a great overview of all the basics - relaxed but clearly very knowledgeable. It was good to get out for an fun evening together, with the excuse that it was all about self-improvement! We hope to be back for more before long.

    Really enjoyed the WSET level 2 and level 3 courses. Jonny is a fantastic tutor, extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Sussex Wine School and their WSET courses!

  • 5/5 Becky G. 1 year ago on Google
    I took my WSET Level 1 in Wines (online), with West London Wine School, Sarah, the Office manager was great, and really supportive, the level of teaching was outstanding, and I passed my Level one with 100%, (never has this ever happened to me when it comes to exams)! I am now taking my WSET Level 2 with Sussex Wine School, and Jonny was only too pleased to give me his time over the phone. to talk through some things that I couldn't understand. I am hoping for a similar result with my Level 2, and as the teaching and support I am getting I have full confidence that I can achieve this. Thank you to all at Sussex Wine School. You are Fab, keep up the good work!. Becky xx

    First experience of Sussex Wine School. I decided to go with a wine enthusiast friend as the topic was Tuscan wines of which I’m fond. Had a great time and learned a lot about the region and how wine is classified in Italy. Couldn’t recommend the school more! I will certainly be going again.

    Our son gave my wife and myself a tasting session as a Christmas present, and we were really impressed with the experience. It's a relatively small and sociable group of people (max 14) who have come together to enjoy and be educated about wine. John is an expert guide, with a light touch, that prompts really exploring the taste and experience as your smell some rather lovely wines. Highly reommenced

    We attended the Cheese and Wine pairing Course and truly enjoyed it. Jonny has been clear and gave lots of information and tips on how to enjoy wine accompanying it with food. I would definitely recommend Sussex Wine School and their courses!!
