Course Overview
Start Your Journey Into Bubbly
Level 1 is where it begins. Designed for enthusiasts and hospitality professionals alike, this course builds the vocabulary and confidence to understand what’s in the glass — and to talk about it well.
You’ll discover how sparkling wine is actually made, meet the key regions and styles, and learn a simple, repeatable approach to tasting that you can use from day one.
No prior knowledge is assumed. By the end you’ll be able to recognise the major styles, understand why they taste the way they do, and make confident recommendations.
