The WSET Level 1 Award in Wines offers a practical introduction to wine and is completed in just one day, including the examination. 

It's a great way to learn about wine in a fun but structured way.

This course is suitable for:

  • The key types and styles of wine; still, sparkling & fortified
  • An introduction to the world's eight principal grape varieties and most important named wines
  • How to serve and store wine 
  • An interactive session on how to pair food and wine

This course is examined by a 45 minute multiple choice examination which is completed at the end of the day.

The WSET Level 1 Award in Wines has full accreditation from OfQual as a Level 1 Vocational Qualification.
