This event takes you through the art of decoding the wine list and getting it right every time.

Taste 12 wines during the evening, and learn a few simple tricks to allow you to know what to order, predict the taste of your choice, and how to match your wines with food.

Please note that whilst there will be cheeses served with the wines, this course does not feature all the examples of food and wine matching that our Introduction to Wine Course and other events include. 

Be led through our own specially designed wine list of Australian and international wines, containing:

• Sparkling wines

• Light dry whites

• Rich dry whites

• Sweet white wines

• Rosé

• Light reds

• Medium reds

• Bold reds

As part of the tasting you will receive:

• A tasting booklet, with information about the wines tasted on the night - view an example tasting book here.;

• A double sided mock wine list showing the art of decoding; and

• A varietal guide outlining both the primary flavours and aromas and the classic food matches across a range of wines

A Saturday Introduction to Wine Course

What we cover in 4 hours:

• How to taste wine

• How to identify quality

• How to describe a wine (the language of wine)

• How to match wine with food

• Much more.

This course is designed for those with limited experience or relatively low confidence with wine.

If you can already describe the difference between Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling and know you would pair a Cabernet with a lamb roast then you should be looking to our 4 week or 1 Day Wine Appreciation courses with Master of Wine Rob Geddes.

If however you choose a wine based on its pretty label, or simply pick the 2nd cheapest bottle on the list, then this is the course for you.

Included in the course:

• 18 wines

• 6 examples of food and wine matching (so whilst not served as "lunch", you will go home feeling fed as well as watered)

• A wine booklet with notes to take home and enhance your knowledge

• Presentation making you relaxed enough to ask any question, enjoyable enough to have fun and informative enough to learn a lot.
