Wine not Italy aims to spread knowledge and awareness of what we eat and drink. Precisely for this reason, with the Online Wine Approach Course, we want beginners and amateurs not to give up the opportunity to learn the basics of wine and its tasting directly from home.
The Online Wine Approach Course is composed of 6 theoretical and practical lessons live on the Web with the teachers of Wine not Italy. Before the course starts, you will receive a box of Premium Wines directly to your home, chosen specifically by our Sommelier that you will use during the lessons. During the lesson you can ask the teacher questions as if you were in the classroom.
