Course in understanding wines

[DernierVirage]

I am trying to find somewhere in Beijing that offers short courses in understanding and appreciating wines. The course can be in either Chinese or English. I am hoping to find something through personal recommendation, so as to avoid being ripped off !

 

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I've worked with them before when I was in Beijing.  I don't have the name of the contact but they can speak English or Chinese and are extremely professional and helpful.  I didn't take the course but they came and did a presentation for some students of ours.

 

A bit pricy though.  Actually it seems that this is a professional course.  You might contact them anyway and see if they offer some simpler courses if that's not exactly what you're looking for.

I know some people in Shanghai, not sure if that is convenient for you.

Might be worth a look at the Grape Wall of China.

Thanks for the very helpful replies, I will check out these suggestions. Angelina, I appreciate your offer, but unfortunately it needs to be in BJ.

Thanks again to all of you.
