WSET Level 2 Intermediate Course June 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th

The WSET® Intermediate Certificate can be comfortably achieved by those with little or no previous wine knowledge. The course will be exactly the same as that offered by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust but will emphasise personal tuition and group discussion in Berrys’ unique, intimate and inspiring surroundings. A selection of wines will be tasted at each session, offering a broad introduction to all wines, spirits and other alcoholic beverages. The course also teaches tasting techniques from which to build tasting experience. The course will end with a celebratory glass of Champagne to toast your achievement.
