In this course series, students are taught the basic concepts of pairing food with wine. They are equipped with an understanding of the basic principles of selecting wine suitable for various types of dishes and how to find harmony between the taste of the food and the characteristics of the chosen wine. This will help them understand the importance of proper selection to enhance the culinary experience for guests. In addition, students are also involved in small groups to plan and pair dishes with suitable wine. In this process, they will be given advice by attending professionals, so they can understand and improve their skills in pairing dishes and wine.
Mastering the knowledge of how to properly combine food and wine is crucial for hospitality and restaurant industry practitioners. This skill is the key to providing an unforgettable culinary experience for guests. Choosing the right wine combination for the served dish can enhance the taste of the dish and result in a better culinary experience.
