Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a very enjoyable time and learnt a lot, including how to open a bottle of sparkling wine with a sword!
Mark is an engaging and knowledgeable presenter and the setting of Selwyn College was very beautiful and the lunch was generous and delicious.
We thoroughly recommend this experience and will definitely take another course(s) in future!
Thank you, Kevin & Lucy

Cambridge venue Easy to find on foot from station. Wine and cheese paring was loads of fun. Mark the wine expert was great, very informative and made it interesting and funny. Decent amount of wine and cheeses to properly experience the taste, 6 wines with 6 cheeses. The 2 hours flew by. Would recommend as a gift .

We went to the Italian wine tasting day run by Mark, who was fantastic! He kept our attention through the whole day with lots of surprises and made wine tasting great fun, as well as teaching us what to look for when choosing wine to go with food and when browsing wine in supermarkets. Useful, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable!

My husband and I came to this wine tasting evening as complete wine novices. But the whole experience was very enjoyable. We tasted a lot, learned a lot and laughed a lot! Will definitely rebook another wine event with Mark.

It was an awesome experience and Mark was super good at explaining different wine regions in France. If I lived in England, I would 100% sign up for his other classes.

Excellent Cambridge Wine Fair organised by Mark Anstead of Cambridgeshire Wine School. The relaxed and informal walk-around format allows you to taste many different wines brought to the event by the participating wine retailers. There is absolutely no hard sell and no obligation to purchase anything, though the opportunity is there if you wish to. It’s very well organised with a little booklet listing the wines being poured by the participants, who are all knowledgable and engaging. There is a mix of the familiar and the unknown - great for exploring and trying new grapes and wine styles. Thoroughly recommended.

I truly can't recommend this wine tasting experience enough! My husband and I had a fantastic evening sampling wines during their Introduction to Wine Tasting course. We've done various other wine tastings at vineyards but this was by far the best experience we've had. Mark was extremely knowledgeable and all the information we received was actually useful. He came across genuine and eager to share everything he knows. If you're looking at doing any type of wine tasting, I highly recommend coming here.

Hello Paola
Thank you for your question. The wine tasting experiences only run on scheduled dates and you should look on the website to see if something is scheduled for the date you are in Cambridge. If not, we can run events on demand for groups of 8 or more.
You will find Tripadvisor gives a link to our website under the address and phone number (on the right of the screen if you are looking at our page on a desktop PC).
Thanks again for your query.

Hi, has anyone had a pre-dinner wine tasting session and later sat down for a meal after? If so, where? Am thinking of it for a milestone birthday celebration.

Hi Chictravel, that's exactly what I offer through Cambridgeshire Wine School. I use a choice between 3 restaurant venues in Cambridge that have private rooms and who won't charge a room hire if the group stays to eat. Or you can even use a college (more expensive for the meal, but very exclusive). Email me and we can fix something up!
