Wine workshop

Knowledge of wines in an integral part of an hotelier’s training. Keeping in view of the changing palate of our hotel guests, it becomes imperative to keep our students abreast with the latest in every relevant field.

As a part of this endeavour, a wine tasting and training workshop in partnership with Sula Vineyards, India on 24th August 2015. The session was aimed at sharing practical knowledge in wine appreciation and service with our 3^rd year students. The session was conducted by Sula Sommelier and Oenologist, Ms. Zaheen Khatri.

Students got a firsthand experience of tasting various reds, whites and sparkling wines from the famous Nashik vineyards.  They also got the inputs of how to identify wine tastes and hence suggest the same to guests, when required. The session also included module on wine basics, grape varieties, Indian wine industry and Food and wine pairing.

The session ended with an informal chat between the students and our expert for the day. Many students wanted to know how they could become Sommeliers or find a career in Wine and Beverage industry.
