From Sips to Success: Our Journey to Achieving the Global Wine Qualification of Our Dreams

Dlazzers… exciting news – we literally passed our exams and are now proud holders of the WSET Level 2 Award in Wine. We’ve achieved the global wine qualification of our dreams and can’t wait to share the journey with you.

There’s something magical about diving deep into the world of wines and we wanted to take our love for wines to the next level, which is why we embarked on the WSET study journey. What better way to celebrate than by sipping on some of the finest wines from around the globe that we’ve learned about through this qualification? We spent two full days in class learning from top South African lecturers who gave us the lay of the land (literally), from the Americas to France, Italy, and beyond. This enlightening experience deepened our grasp of the wine industry’s complexities and undeniably enhanced our appreciation for the craft in our homeland.

We owe a massive shoutout to the International Wine Education Centre. Without their guidance, expertise, and unwavering support, achieving this dream qualification would have remained just that – a dream. They not only mentored us through the entire process but also provided us with invaluable insights and expertise that enriched our learning journey. 

For all you budding wine connoisseurs or even those just beginning to explore the magnificent world of wines, the International Wine Education Centre is the place to be. They offer a variety of qualifications throughout the year tailored to different levels of wine and beverage enthusiasts. Fancy joining the ranks?

Cheers to dreams, determination, and divine wines!
