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
3rd 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.
