If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about wine, then this wine appreciation course is the simple answer! Experience a 2 hour wine course for beginner’s right in the heart of Melbourne where you can learn and taste your way through an intimate appreciation of wine.

Get ready to learn all about wine in a relaxed 2 hour appreciation course. This course is designed to help you find your way amongst the thousands of wines available and give you confidence when choosing and evaluating wine, through tasting and discussion with your experienced sommelier. Wine is something we all can enjoy and with a little knowledge, it tastes even better!

Expand your knowledge and get a better understanding of the difference between good wine and great wine. Offered as a course of six individual weekly sessions (allowing you to attend one or as many as you like) each two hour tasting will focus on the varietal expression of wines, their history and style of wine making. Wines will be masked and revealed after tasting and discussion to avoid bias toward certain styles.

The 2 hour wine appreciation session will focus on one of the following topics:

What is wine and how is wine made?
The differences between wine varieties
White wines
Red wines
Wine and ageing
Old and new world wines

During the wine appreciation session, your sensory evaluation will be educated and honed, so that you can make informed decisions when choosing wine for different occasions. Wines will be tasted in brackets of three or four, with a minimum of six wines and a maximum of eight, all chosen for their particular representation of varietal characteristics and the specific class topic.

All you need to bring is a pen and paper and most importantly, your nose!
