Build a strong foundation in wine appreciation and develop practical tasting skills with this introductory-level course designed for those new to wine exploration.
You will study the sensory science of taste perception and learn systematic approaches to assessing the critical structural components of wine, including acidity levels, tannin presence, residual sugar content, and other defining characteristics. As you progress, you will build a personalized vocabulary for describing and discussing wine flavors, aromas, and qualities with confidence.
Participate in an engaging, enjoyable session that will increase your ability to identify wines you genuinely enjoy and communicate your preferences effectively to others. This course serves as an excellent introduction for those beginning to explore wine appreciation, or as the foundation for advancing toward entry-level and intermediate wine certification examinations.
