This 90-minute, interactive, virtual session, is an introduction to the wonderful world of wines facilitated by our own Karyn Williams-Sykes (CHTM graduate, 1991), a WSET Certified Educator. Participants will be exposed to basic knowledge on the main styles and types of wines, with tips on food pairing and storage for personal enjoyment.
Please note that participants will be required to supply their own wines (for tasting), glassware, and other training materials.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to:
1. Display a basic understanding of the factors that determine the main styles of wine;
2. Describe in general terms, the main characteristics of some principal grape varieties; and
3. Understand the basic tenants of wine/food pairing.
