Corporate Training
Think beyond the individual and make the whole team stronger.
Ensure that your staff have the tools to reach their full potential and to make your business a success. We have worked with all companies to bond employees and create teams, increase company spirit, and reach goals through a celebration of wine and beverage knowledge. Short courses, events and workshops as part of an ongoing program or a bolt-on to drive a positive outcome. Customised courses are one way to achieve this.
Cellar Management
When building a wine cellar, it can be hard to know where to start. What do I like to drink? What if friends come to dinner? Deciding on what wines to invest in should be a fun learning process. Understand what wines appreciate in taste and value. Get access to rare or limited-release wines. Build your assets. Our staff can help you decipher the art of cellar management.
Wine Tasting Workshops
In-person, private classes, which are 2-4 hours in length.
The classes are part of a larger program but can be taken ‘a la carte’. Quickly learn about a specific grape variety, region, or almost any wine topic that most interests you. During each workshop, taste blind 6–10 wines while being led by Ben Moechtar or another of our leading instructors. There are dozens of workshops to choose from, or design your own.
Why The Certified Sommelier
The Certified Sommelier makes learning fun, and there is no better return, than to invest in knowledge. From broadening your own life experience, to creating a culture of learning in your workplace to increase staff retention.
