I’m interested in registering for a wine tasting course or session please advise me of the day sad fees for Sandton or Pretoria sessions.
Good day
Would it be possible to buy a voucher for this course to give to a friend for his birthday?
We are Durban based. I see you do have courses at the Westville Hotel. Do these happen fairly often?
Birthday is on Sunday so need to get this sorted out ASAP!
Many thanks!
