SOMMELIER TRAINING

Sommelier training is much more than just knowledge of wines and spirits; it’s the development of an expertise combining passion, know-how and customer service. Sommeliers master the art of advising customers on wine and champagne choices to suit their preferences and the dishes on offer.
For a hotel or restaurant, having a qualified sommelier not only enhances the dining experience for guests, but also reinforces the establishment’s image as a destination of choice for wine lovers, which can translate into increased sales and greater customer loyalty.
