The experience
Wine knowledge that works on the floor.
Great wine service is not about memorising complicated tasting notes. It is about helping staff feel comfortable discussing wines, listening to guests and making confident, relevant recommendations.
Sharon works with hospitality teams at their own venues, making the learning practical and connected to everyday service. Sessions can introduce wine fundamentals, refresh existing knowledge or focus on areas where your staff would benefit from more confidence.
We can discuss your team’s experience, the style of your venue and the wine knowledge you would like them to develop, then plan an appropriate session.
