WINE KNOWLEDGE and WINE EXPERIENCES in ONE NEW EXCITING WINE APPRECIATION COURSE

“TEACHING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TASTING AND DRINKING”

has been my number one response when someone asked me what I do for work, and when a simple “I’m a wine educator and wine consultant” didn’t find a common ground. From the first day I started Canny Grapes Wine Education, my focus was always on sharing wine knowledge. This was base don my very own quest of wanting to learn EVERYTHING ABOUT WINE.

My curiosity, persistence and resilience helped me travel the world for wine. I boarded countless of plane, hired plenty of cars and rocked up at wineries often with only a very short notice or a more casual visit as the road less travelled lead me to the destination. Most often there was no plan, and I still enjoy travelling for wine ‘my way’ collecting stories, connecting with country, feeling the place of the wine’s origin, learning about the pioneering spirit and immense self-belief involved to create what we now get to enjoy and APPRECIATE in our wine glasses and cellar.

The Canny Grapes Wine Appreciation Course is a result of my extensive travels and wine experiences, my CG Wine Education Classes; responding to the enquiries from many curious wine consumers as well as Perth’s hospitality industry including sommeliers, wines sales representatives, brand managers, venue managers and people seeking a change of career.

Like a wine, balance plays a very important role, and so are each individual components.

The course is designed to balance commitment, practical & theory components along with self-study days. We all have a unique way of learning and applying your knowledge is the most rewarding and satisfying part of the course.

We connect with our sensory wine appreciation and deepen our wine knowledge over 10 weeks, with 6 in person classes held on a Saturday afternoon from 4-6pm at Mayfair Lane in West Perth and 4 guided self-study sessions. The course concludes with a celebration wine pairing dinner.
