BEGINNER Certificate Wine Course

An in-depth course on South African wine covers red and white wine viticulture, winemaking, sweet and sparkling wines, fortified wines and distillation. Understand the Cape's wine of origin system and learn how to assess what’s in your glass by tasting through the main South African grape varieties. All this knowledge comes together in a theory exam and a blind wine tasting exam. On completion, you will understand various vineyard and cellar processes involved in the production of wine and gain confidence in the formal sensory assessment of wine and the influence of the grape variety on character, style, and quality. Recommended as the next step after the South African Wine Course and for second-year tertiary hospitality and tourism students and anyone serious about furthering their career in the wine, hospitality or tourism industry.
