THE GLENGARRY WINE ACADEMY | STAGE 1 - FOUR WEEK COURSE
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!
Staged over four weeks this is a 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.
