What to expect
You'll start outdoors observing grapevines and how they develop into fruit. The Cellarmaster then walks you through the technical side: where fermentation happens, why certain decisions get made, what separates one variety from another. The blending section is practical—you'll examine colour differences, smell various bouquets, and taste how components combine. Throughout the two hours, you'll taste wines that illustrate each concept, moving from theory to glass.
