Shop Tasting

On certain evenings through the year, Kernowine hosts various wine, beer, cider and spirits tastings in our Falmouth shop. Whether you’re a Rioja or Sauvignon Blanc fan, or just want an alternative to the same old, same old – why not book on to one of our classes.

The classes don’t cost too much and you’ll have a laugh informally learning about the wines of the world – and we do some food matching as well, like our sweet wine and dessert class – plus cheese matched with wine, port, Madeira and sherry nearer Christmas.

Navarra wine and food tasting – Wednesday 29th January

Following Del’s wine buying trip to northern Spain back in October, we’re putting on a Navarra wine and food tasting on Wednesday 29th January. 

We’ll be showing six wines – two whites, a traditional rosado (dark rosé), plus three reds. We’ll pair some of them with traditional Navarran snacks – such as grilled red peppers, white asparagus, artichoke hearts, chistorra sausage, Basque cheese and sweet green guindilla peppers.

Tickets will cost £30pp and please either book in-store or email jake@kernowine.co.uk – Kernowine Wine Club members get 10% off all wine classes. 

Refund policy: If you’re booked on to one of our classes and have paid in advance – we’re happy to refund you 50% of your ticket price if someone can’t come to the class (due to illness for example) and you’ve told us 24 hours before the class, or 100% of the ticket price if you tell us 48 hours before the class.

When we’re not so busy in the shop (mainly through the winter months) we will be offering tastings at home – whether you live in Cornwall or are just visiting our lovely county for a week or two. We’ll bring the wine and some tasting glasses – you just relax and try some of our favourite wines, beers, ciders and spirits. More details to follow and get in touch for corporate tastings.

We won’t unfortunately be offering WSET courses any time soon as our application to open an APP (Approved Programme Provider) was rejected by the Wine and Spirits Education Trust, despite their being a local need in the Falmouth area for wine tuition. Del had also been on the waiting list to become a WSET wine educator for more than two years without getting on a course, so has consequently withdrawn his request to become a WSET educator. Kernowine will instead become a provider of Wine Scholar Guild courses in due course.
