Our unique WSET Level 1 Award in Wines is a perfect starting point for structured wine studies for the wine enthusiast.

The thrill of a great food and wine pairing experience can demand the need to know more. Why did those flavours and textures work so well together? Why didn't they?

While addressing the requirements of the WSET Level 1 Award in Wines, this day will also elaborate on the key elements of food and wine taste interactions such as sweetness, acidity and saltiness in food.

This enriched food and wine pairing component will be delivered by chef and sommelier Carrie Rau, providing the opportunity to experience key pairing principles through a 5-course gourmet meal. Carrie also guides discussion about considerations when pairing wines with dishes from non-European cuisines, and leads the group in educational and entertaining menu design activities.

Students will meet WSET Level 1 learning objectives and leave with practical knowledge to put to use when selecting or recommending wines for diverse dining occasions.
