“Dryness may be a characteristic of some wines but there is nothing ‘dry’ about this course. Mario’s enthusiasm, knowledge and humour infuse the learning – and therefore enjoyment of wine.”
HAPPY CLIENTS
“I was really interested to learn something new and decided to sign up for the Level 1 Award at Pharos Wine School, and something new is exactly what I got! The course was packed full of knowledge, which was brought to life by the energy and enthusiasm of Mario, who’s knowledge and stories were amazing! He is so passionate about wine, and this comes across when he is teaching you and helping you understand and learn. It’s a full day of which you get beginners knowledge, taste a wide variety of wines and use food samples to understand the pairing of food and wine. I have been shopping for wine since, and even with the limited knowledge I now have, I found myself reading the labels, understanding and thinking about the wine I was buying in a completely different way! Thank you Mario for a great day!”

“I recently attended the level 1 day course and it was an absolutely brilliant day. Mario is highly knowledgeable and passionate about wine and his style of teaching was what set the day apart from other courses I have attended. He made what is actually a scientific and complex process, relatable, practical and easy to understand. I left the day empowered to now select a wine I will actually like and understanding how the food I am pairing may affect the taste. As someone who hosts a lot of dinners and drinks (a lot) of wine, I wish I had found the Pharos Wine School sooner.”
