NWETC wine courses
Whether you're a casual wine lover or an industry professional, National Wine Education & Training Centre (NWETC) courses are designed to enhance your knowledge, refine your tasting skills, and deepen your appreciation for the world of wine.
At NWETC, we offer a range of engaging and interactive courses held at the prestigious National Wine Centre in Adelaide.
Our Wine Essentials single-night course is perfect for beginners looking to explore the fundamentals of wine tasting.
For those wanting a more immersive experience, our Understanding Wine courses are available in both weekend and three-nights-over-three-weeks formats, providing a structured journey through varietals, winemaking techniques, and food pairings.
Our courses are led by world-class wine professionals who bring decades of experience in winemaking, sensory analysis and wine appreciation. Our educators encourage participants to talk, taste, laugh and learn while enjoying some of Australia’s finest wines.
The NWETC has been a cornerstone of wine education in South Australia for more than 65 years.
