How: with the “retreat” formula. The tasting hall of the Lepa Vida Boutique Winery is fully reserved for the wine tasting seminar, to enhance concentration and learning.
Gourmet luch is included and will take place in the premises, so that no time is wasted and opinions can be shared during lunch, too.
Lunch is provided by renowned Slovene restaurant Grad Kromberk.
How much: € 270,00 per person.
Why this price: because it’s the quotient of total spending divided by 12, plus a very small fee to compensate organisation. An early booking fee at € 230,00 per person was available to those who helped reducing organisation job by subscribing within February 17th.
Why attending the seminar: because it’s worth more than its price if you are a serious wine professional working – with any role – with foreign markets.
This seminar is particularly interesting for you if you are a:
- Wine professional aiming at build a better carreer, better reputation and in delivering service of higher quality to his or her customer
- Winemaker, as well as a cellar’s marketing manager, aiming at increasing the cellar’s business in foreing markets.
- Sommelier or wine and food professional who wants to improve his or her abilities in communicating wine to foreign customers and/or employers
- Journalist or wine writer who is willing to widen his or her horizons and/or to be able to work overseas.
- Wine lover who is about to step up and become a professional
- WSET students until L3
First step to succesfully talk about a wine is being able to communicate it in a proper and trustworthy way, a way that is shared with other wine-professionals around the world and that becomes a kind of mutual language, that helps avoiding misundertandings and leads to a business relationship that is satisfying for each part involved, or helps establishing one’s reputation as a wine professional.
Lexical properties and a wide English vocabulary may not be enough to professionally describe wine to foreign customers and to allow them to understand a wine’s peculiarities and value, or to write for a popular magazine.
I do believe in the value of this seminar and in the need of a quality, internationally competitive education for non English-speaking wine professionals, so I’m putting my money where my mouth is and I organise, recommend and pay to attend, too, this extraordinary wine tasting seminar, that will give you new, useful and actually exploitable professional skills.
