You enjoy wine but get overwhelmed by the restaurant wine list.

At the wine store you struggle to describe the wine you want.

Selecting wine for dinner at home or a festive occasion can be a challenge.

If this resonates with you, Finding Your Way in Wine is the course for you.

You will learn from the course to

  • taste like a professional

  • choose the right wine

  • order wine in a restaurant with ease

  • recognize different styles of wine

  • read a wine label

  • pair food and wine

Finding Your Way in Wine is a free 4-week online course for winelovers who want to build confidence and knowledge in tasting, choosing and talking about wine.

You’ll learn how to taste wine like a professional, put simple words on what you taste, recognise different wine styles, and feel more at ease in wine shops, restaurants, and at the table.

You’ll also master the basics of food and wine pairing and apply everything by designing a dinner menu for your friends.

This course helps you explore wine in a structured, practical way, so you can enjoy it more and choose better, every time.

Hello,

I'm Sarah and I will be leading the online course, Finding your Way in Wine.

I am a qualified wine educator with a FdSc degree in Wine Production and a Wine and Spirit Education Trust Diploma in Wines. I am also a wine judge at international and national competitions (London IWC and Grand Prix du Vin Suisse).

I have been teaching wine courses for many years and have helped hundreds of students, enthusiasts and professionals, gain knowledge, skills and qualifications. I have accompanied them on their journey of wine exploration from beginner to expert.

It is my pleasure to be sharing with you my passion for wine and its culture.
