GLENGARRY WINE ACADEMY | STAGE 1 - INTENSIVE
Over the last 20+ years, the Glengarry Wine Academy has established itself as one of the leading wine educators in New Zealand. Initially created to train Glengarry staff, it is also widely used by the hospitality industry and wine enthusiasts. Informative, but never intimidating, the Glengarry Wine Academy courses are an opportunity for beginners as well as experienced aficionados to expand their knowledge and develop their interest. The only pre-requisite is a passion for wine!
Usually staged over four weeks this is an intensive two-week version run on Saturdays. Very much hands-on course that encourages participants to gain 'wine confidence' by breaking down the intimidation factor and providing a good grounding in the sensory evaluation and perception of wine. The main grape varieties are discussed in detail with wines from around New Zealand and across the globe tasted to highlight the various characteristics of each variety.
KEY TOPICS COVERED
How to taste and evaluate wine
Distinguishing the characteristics of different grape varietals and wine styles
The 6 main factors affecting the taste of wine
The language of wine
Wine and food matching
Purchasing and cellaring wines
This course will run over two blocks on consecutive Saturday's from 10 – 3pm, with a one hour break for lunch and will be held in our Victoria Park Wine room (please see above for course dates).
The course fee and content covers all four sessions over the two weeks.
This particular Wine Academy is a little different as we are in fact training the trainers with this one. It’ll be presented by our General Manager Liz Wheadon, so not only will you receive all the training you can expect at a Wine Academy, you’ll have four nights of stories, great wine and a fair amount of good humour from Liz.
