Australia’s newest Master Sommelier will return to the Northern Sydney Institute’s Ryde Campus in 2014 to run guest lectures for the Sydney Wine Academy’s Professional Sommeliers course.
Sebastian Crowther, who became only the third Australian to graduate from the Master Sommelier examination late last year, will be just one of many high profile teachers delivering the 18 week program.
Sydney Wine Academy Course Director Clive Hartley said the specialist Sommelier course is just one of many exciting new programs that the Academy will be offering this year.
“The Professional Sommeliers course is a unique course in Australia that provides participants the underpinning knowledge and skills to take up the role of a Sommelier,” he said.
“It is intended to offer a firm grounding before attempting Court of Master Sommelier or WSET Award Level 3 Certificates,” said Mr Hartley.
The program comprises of specialist sommelier units including: Australian Wine Industry Knowledge, Imported Wine, Beer, Spirits and Liqueurs, as well as Wine List Development and Wine and Food Matching.
In addition to Sebastian, the course features sessions and guest lectures run by past Sommeliers such as Annette Lacey AIWS and seeks to build on the Academy’s great track record of offering Sommelier courses to the Australian hospitality industry.
Participants will attend one day per week (Monday) commencing early February.
