Wine School - Ex Animo Wine Co.

Do you love wine?

Do you want to learn more about it?

Do you want to learn more about it in a relaxed, fun and interactive way?

Are you ready to boost your confidence and sophistication when it comes to communicating about and purchasing wine?

Then Ex Animo Wine School is for you!

Our school is based on years of experience in the wine and hospitality industry. We focus more on practical knowledge and experience rather than just the theoretical (although there will be some theory it’ll just be the useful stuff!).

We think the best way to learn about wine is by tasting and discussing it, and our classes are designed to give you the opportunity to do just that.
