Wine Course - Beginners

This beginner’s course is intended as an introduction and there will be opportunity to progress on to both an intermediate, and an advanced level course.

The tutor will provide an overview of the various wine growing regions, and compare the differences between the Old and New World wines.

You will discover more about the history of wine growing; grape varieties and origins.

The science behind wine making will be discussed and the artistry which has also impacted upon the culture of wine production.

You will taught how to taste wine professionally, and how to assess the quality of a wine, by its colour and aroma.

Students will taste a red and a white wine at each session.

There will be a multiple choice assessment on the final week; those successfully completing the course will receive a certificate of attendance accredited by RACC.

You may want to bring with you a notebook or folder to take notes, and to store handouts from the sommelier.
