Our Mission
At Red Grape Coaching, we strive to enhance your wine knowledge and appreciation. Join us on a journey where every sip tells a story, and every grape has a history...and here's my story.
Snowed in on a skiing holiday, with nothing to do, so we booked a wine tasting in the local wine bar. The sommelier opened 6 bottles from the local region, the Aosta Valley.
We tasted, we listened, we were hooked. The stand out bottle was the Sangue di Giuda - a sweet, sparkling red!
Returning to London I booked the WSET Level 1 - I learnt a lot, tasted loads and eventually ditched my Banking job and opened a Wine School in London. #lovemyjob
