Manchester Wine School

Walk into the Maldron Hotel on Charles Street and you've found one of those rare spots that takes wine seriously without the pretension. This is where you go to actually understand what's in your glass, whether you're a complete novice or someone who reckons they know their Pinot from their Prosecco. The team run tastings and classes that feel more like a chat with knowledgeable mates than a stuffy lecture theatre. You'll leave knowing more than when you walked in, and honestly, that's the whole point.
