What does a Wine Sommelier do?
The core purpose of a Wine Sommelier is to ensure that patrons are able to find a wine within their budget that fits their tastes and complements their food. A sommelier works with the kitchen to find suitable wines to pair with each meal on the menu, maintaining the standard of fine dining through creative food and wine pairing.

Courses such as the Cape Sommelier™ provided by The Cape Wine Academy cater for wine enthusiasts, tertiary students, wine industry players, employees in the hospitality, retail and tourism industries and corporate clients; and are directed to empower individuals to be able to find work in various industries and perform their duties on a professional level.
