Submitted by: Ian Dickinson

Become an expert in wine appreciation with the Cape Wine Academy’s South African Wine Course. The course offers an overview of wine, wine origins, and how to identify and compare wines through taste, sight and smell.

Comprised of two lectures, complete with wine tastings as well as an exam, The South African Wine Course is designed to appeal to anyone with an interest in wine appreciation and is also the starting point to a career in the wine and hospitality industry. This is a fun and informative course designed to enhance your appreciation of wine by equipping you with the basic skills in identifying and appreciating South African wines.

The course consists of two evening lectures and an exam, or can be attended on a Saturday morning.

Important Advisory

• The Cape Wine Academy promotes responsible use of alcohol.
• We recommend the use of spittoons supplied at the tastings, to reduce the excessive consumption of wine during the tastings.
• It is advisable to eat a meal before the start of each class.
• Please don’t wear perfume or aftershave when attending the classes – it affects everyone’s ability to smell the wine.
