Taste Can Be Taught
Learn from the people who buy, pour and champion the world's most interesting wines.
For the past decade, the people pouring wine at Noble Rot have gone on to become some of Britain's best sommeliers and merchants. Along the way, we've taught them more than how to pass an exam – how to recognise the bottles that actually matter, and why.
Now we're opening those classes to everyone.
Shrine To The Vine Wine School is our new home for wine education in Stoke Newington. You'll leave with an internationally recognised WSET qualification. That's only part of the point. The real education is in the glass: bottles from growers we've championed for years, poured by the people who buy them, sell them and drink them themselves, alongside cheese and charcuterie from our kitchen.
Whether you're taking your first steps into wine or sharpening a long-standing obsession, you'll spend less time memorising facts and more time learning to trust your own palate.
