It was formed in 1979 and, since then, over 120,000 people have enrolled for courses. These cover a range of topics, ranging from: wines of South Africa, wines from the World; hospitality and front of house; wine and food; brandy and cocktails; and corporate events. The courses are fun and fascinating. They cater for every level: beginner, enthusiast, expert, sommelier, and professional in the wine industry.
