What people say?
So lucky to have come across Rack and Return! The team is first class and Fintan’s tutoring and classes prepared me perfectly for WSET L3 which I passed with distinction - thanks so much!!
I really liked being able to attend the level 2 course with Fintan, although it was in English, it was very understandable and the truth is that I learned more than I thought 🙂 Thank you!
Good wine professionals! I would repeat without hesitation!
Really nice experience! Fintan was very friendly and approachable. He introduced us to the universe of wine in an entertaining and delightful way. Thank you so much for everything Fintan!
We did a private wine tasting (a group of 8) with Rack and Return in Barcelona. Great experience, Fintan's wine choices/delivery/interaction with the group was top notch! Would highly recommend anyone who's looking to arrange a wine event to get in contact with the guys at Rack and Return!

They teach you the pleasure of drinking proper wine with subtlety and a high level of professionalism.

I did the WSET-1 wine course and learned a lot. Fintan is very knowledgeable and a fun teacher. Immediately decided to do WSET-2.
