This one day course is perfect for individuals new to wine study. The WSET Level 1 qualification provides a hands-on introduction to the world of wine.
Led by Leiths 'Head of Wine', Marjorie Legendre, who teaches the WSET lectures for our professional Diploma in Food and Wine, students will explore the main types and styles of wine through sight, smell, and taste. They will also gain the basic skills to describe wines accurately, and make food and wine pairings.
Students will complete a multiple choice exam at the end of the class. Upon successful completion you will receive a WSET certificate and lapel pin.

Allergies and dietary restrictions:
We are happy to make adjustments where possible. Some classes are however unsuitable for people with particular intolerances – where the menu would need to be completely different. We need 10 days' notice to be able to properly check the class and adjust the order accordingly. Please read our full policy on allergies and dietary restrictions here.
WSET qualifications have given me the basis to develop my wine expertise. I’ve been inspired by the classes and have made contacts within all areas of the wine industry.
