- How to store and serve wine

- The magic of food and wine pairing

- You’ll leave with the confidence to navigate restaurant wine lists, choose the perfect bottle for any occasion, and pair food and wine like a pro.

EXAM

to tell Sauvignon from Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from Cabernet Sauvignon. If concepts like the 30/50 climate and its effect on wine styles are new to you, you’re in the right place. It’s also perfect for those starting out in hospitality with little or no wine background.

CAN I COME BY MYSELF?

Absolutely! Many people come by themselves, the atmosphere is sociable and welcoming and a great way to meet new people. But the more the merrier! Bring friends and family for a packed day of tasting, learning, and laughter.
