SOMMELIER WINE TRAINING COURSES

    Turn your staff into sales masters by attending a Wine Sommelier Course with Joanne. We'll cover how to describe wine, share stories to provide that wow experience for your customers and how to make sales.

    Choose between a certified Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) course or one that's tailored precisely to your store or restaurant.

    Wine Sommelier Course: The Basic process

    Initial Chat

    I’ll need to learn a little about your restaurant, review your wine list and food menu, and understand the style of service that works best for you. Then we set a date.

    Training Day

    I’ll be there before class time to assist with setup and finalize AV set up. 

    1.15 – 2 hours is all about wine. Staff will learn how to listen to your guests’ preferences and how to open it, serve it, and talk about wine with confidence.

    Options to meet once a month to build a wine sales army is also available.

    Survey and Follow up

    At the end of the presentation, I’ll ask you and your staff to take 5 minutes to fill out our survey to provide feedback.

    There’s an option for staff to have access to online wine quizzes  to make sure they retain knowledge.
