Have you ever wondered how wine is made? How does red wine get its colour? Why are there different shades of rosé? And how sparkling wine gets its bubbles?
Our ‘Introduction to Wine’ course has been developed to teach curious wine enthusiasts the foundations of wine growing and wine making in a fun, casual setting.
Over four weeks you will learn about wine history, winemaking, and famous wine regions. A significant time will be spent tasting and discussing wines from around the world.
Led by our team of wine experts, the ‘Introduction to Wine’ course is a great first step into the world of wine and builds the foundational knowledge for our ‘Wine Scholar Guild’ (WSG) courses and our ‘Central & Eastern European Wine’ course.
