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.

Winter Warmers wine tasting – Tuesday 26th November

We’ll be holding our annual winter warmers wine tasting class on Tuesday 26 November in the bar from 6-7.30pm. 

This will be a bit of a Christmas preview with some extra bits thrown in like a sparkling wine and a dessert wine. There’ll be eight wines on the night – so tickets will be slightly higher at £30pp – but there’ll be a Christmas Chablis to taste plus some other bigger reds for the festive season and Christmas Day. 

Email jake@kernowine.co.uk to book a ticket or pop in to the bar and reserve your spot with either Jake (daytimes) or Sean (evenings).

We’ll also be launching our mulled cider and mulled wine to coincide with the Falmouth Christmas lights switch-on (Thursday 28th November), so why not pop in for a mug or two after work or before/during/after your Christmas shopping.

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waiting list to become a WSET wine educator for more than two years without getting on a course, so has consequently withdrawn his request to become a WSET educator.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.
