If you know the basic wine grapes—that Chardonnay is a white wine and Cabernet Sauvignon is usually red—then begin at Level 2. This beginner to intermediate wine course offers greater breadth and depth of material, and more tasting opportunities than Level 1. It’s for anyone who:
Works in wine or who want a career in the industry
Has a serious interest in deepening their wine knowledge
Wishes to become a more confident wine taster
This qualification is intended for beginners wishing to learn about a wide range of wines. You’ll gain knowledge of the principal and regionally important grape varieties of the world, the regions in which they are grown, and the styles of wine they produce. Through a combination of tasting and theory, you’ll explore the factors that impact style and quality and learn how to describe these wines with confidence.

Each module includes a series of independent activities to help you understand wine label terminology and recognize the styles produced by the main grape varieties in key wine regions.
There is a recommendation of six hours study per week to cover the online activities and read the relevant chapters in the textbook.
Regular access and participation in the course online activities is essential for this mode of study. While participation in the webinars is encouraged, it is NOT required, as all webinars will be recorded and posted to the Online Learning Platform.
You can contact the educator any time for the duration of the scheduled course, should you have any questions.
