Classes
Ready to actually understand what’s in your glass? The WSET Level 1 Award in Wines is the perfect introduction to the world of wine—whether you work in hospitality, want to start a career in wine, or simply want to feel more confident ordering, tasting, and talking about it.
Over two relaxed, interactive evenings, we’ll explore the fundamentals of wine, including major grape varieties and styles, how wine is made, the basics of food and wine pairing, and how to taste wine using the WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting®.
No wine knowledge required. No snobbery, either.
