One of the most inspiring aspects was the three-day ‘Grape to Glass’ when our Wine Stewards travelled from all around South Africa to the Cape. Many of our young candidates having never seen the sea or the mountains, nor of course the glorious vineyards of many of Distell’s great estates. So imagine the excitement there was having this three-day programme, including lectures by Harry Melck, Former Principal of Cape Wine Academy and Jean-Vincent Ridon of Sommeliers Academy with exams and certification. Plus a special tour to Van Ryn’s Distillery and James Sedgwick Distillery, being introduced to knowledgeable experts on brandy, whisky, sherry and cocktails giving them the benefit of their expertise. And, of course, the cherry on the top, a day out to the exquisite winelands to meet with the cellar masters and winemakers of some of Distell’s most prestigious wine estates. A rare experience indeed for our aspiring Sommeliers, to discuss the three chosen wines for wine and food pairing.This year, the Wine Stewards will continue to meet in virtual sessions, having access to the Cape Wine Academy and Sommeliers Academy certificate courses online. They ve been introduced to distinguished cellarmasters and talented winemakers from glorious wine estates including Allesverloren, Durbanville Hills, Fleur Du Cap, Nederburg, Plaisir de Merle, Pongrácz and Zonnebloem having enjoyed online sessions with private Zoom meetings. Particular highlights with Master Distillers, Andy Watts of multiple award-winning Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky and Three Ships Whisky, and Marlene van der Westhuizen of Van Ryn’s Brandy.See more here https://showcook.com/blog/category/grape-to-glass/The Skills Exchange Development Programme took place from 17th – 21st August, with an outstanding line-up of on-line guest speakers, chefs, bakers, sommeliers and concierges from Cape Cod, Napa Valley, Singapore, Dordogne and Boussac in France, London, Scotland and Ireland – players that oil the wheels of the grand hotels chatting on Zoom to our candidates from the Distell Inter Hotel Challenge and One Only Reaching for Young Stars!
