Port Masterclass with Adam Odor (School of Port) and Maria Boumpa (UK Sommelier of the Year)
TASTE AND SERVE PORT LIKE A PRO
UKSA members, we are organising another exclusive FREE member event for you! School of Port’s, Adam Odor will be joined by Maria Boumpa, UK Sommelier of the Year 2025 to guide you through an exploration and tasting of the full spectrum of the Port category.
This is a fantastic opportunity whether you’re preparing for a blind tasting
exam or gearing up for a sommelier competition. Port’s history spans four centuries, and the ways it’s enjoyed have evolved constantly. Passing only to the left and the “Three-bottle men” are long gone, and the Bishop of Norwich is replaced by Game
of Thrones.
It’s time to discover how and why Port remains as relevant as ever for the 21st-century wine drinker.
Date: Monday, 29 th September
Time: 11 am to 1 pm (Option to stay for lunch with 25% discount afterwards)
Venue: Champagne Charlies, 17 Villiers St, London WC2N 6NG

The event will conclude with practical tips on port and food pairing, shelf life, service and more!
