About Benoit
I'm Ben — raised among the vineyards of Cognac and Bordeaux, wine runs in my blood.
After 20 years in banking in London, I traded spreadsheets for a WSET Diploma and became a wine educator.
I don't just love wine, I love wine with people: the stories, the history, the geography, the laughs around the table.
Expect masterclasses that dig into terroir, technique and blind tasting, delivered with real expertise and plenty of humour along the way.
Let's taste, learn and laugh together!
Cheers!🍷🥂🍹
