If you have a passion for wine, are self-motivated and a natural communicator, this could be the business opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Running your own Local Wine School franchise means you can be your own boss whilst doing something you love. It also has great potential to generate healthy margins.

Right now we have franchise opportunities available and are looking for key individuals to help grow our worldwide network of Local Wine Schools to teach fun, accessible wine courses to a wide range of customers.

Following a 20-year career in Project & Commercial Management in the UK & overseas, & an MBA from the prestigious Durham University Business School, Chris Powell founded the original Local Wine School in Newcastle, England in 2000. The concept was to offer informal, relaxed and fun wine courses, appealing to a wide range of customers from beginners to the more experienced.

Now a very profitable business, showing rapid year-on-year growth, this robust business model has proved successful across many locations nationwide. With a growing client list, currently over 50,000 strong, Local Wine School is proud to be the fastest expanding network of wine schools in the world.

Once you have decided you would like to learn more about a Local Wine School Franchise, contact us and we will invite you to a Franchise presentation. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions and will take away a wealth of valuable information, including financial projections for a typical Local Wine School franchise, plus a draft Local Wine School Franchise Agreement.

At this stage we would also ascertain if you would benefit from any further professional/WSET wine training courses. To help provide you with an appreciation of the experience you would be delivering to your customers, you would also be invited to attend one of our Wine School tastings.

At some stage we would also like to see you present an element of a typical tasting evening. Then after we completed our subsequent Tutor Assessment, successful applicants would have the opportunity to speak with our existing Wine School Franchise owners.

Once territory boundaries were agreed and a deposit paid, we would commence construction of your e-commerce website, and begin preparation of your PR/Media campaign and marketing materials.

The last stage involves signature of the Franchise Agreement, planning of your first Course Schedules, and finally, opening your very own Wine School - the start of a very enjoyable and profitable future!
