The Introduction to Wine Course with Jeremy Oliver

Australia’s most fearless wine critic and the author of 30 books - including 19 editions of the best-selling The Australian Wine Annual, Jeremy Oliver will enhance your enjoyment and appreciation of wine. This is the ultimate wine course for beginners and even seasoned wine enthusiasts, because Jeremy is a qualified winemaker and long-term industry commentator who keeps right on top of wine trends in Australia and around the world.

Jeremy has long developed a reputation for calling wine as he sees it, so his sessions are as much about entertainment and stories as they are about education. He firmly believes wine education should be fun, and by de-mystifying wine, he makes it simpler to follow and easier to enjoy.

Taking place over four consecutive Mondays this October in Camberwell's iconic Tea House on Burke restaurant, this course covers everything a wine enthusiast needs to discover to taste, buy cellar and serve wine with confidence.

Jeremy will guide his guests through detailed and professional tastings in each of the four sessions. Having run a wine school for 17 years and hosted hundreds of events in Australia and around the world, he’s excited to share again his knowledge and passion with Melbourne’s current and budding wine enthusiasts. All guests receive a unique and ultra-comprehensive set of Jeremy’s unique course notes.

The Tea House Tasting Plate for just $25 - a bonus for Early Arrivals

Our host Shannon has created a unique Tea House Tasting Plate for those able to arrive at the restaurant between 5.30 - 6.10pm on each Monday night of the course. Comprising a spring roll, a pan-fried pork dumpling, slices of bbq pork, siu mai and 2 prepared portions of peking duck (the house special), it's the ideal way to keep the appetite at bay and enjoy the wine tasting ahead. No need to order in advance - just be sure to place your order by 6.10pm !

Getting there and parking

It's easy to get to the Tea House at Burke. On Monday evenings there's plenty of street parking, while the restaurant is opposite north and south-going tram stops on Burke Road and across the street from Camberwell railway station.
