Designed for those looking to improve their social, management and networking skills, the "W.I.N.E. - Wine is a Networking Enabler" course reinforces practical skills - knowing how to taste, choose, handle and (well) harmonise wine and food - promotes personal and professional interactions, and fosters new opportunities through knowledge of one of the world's most attractive and wide-ranging sectors of activity. As well as boosting confidence to act in society, the wine stories the course brings will be natural facilitators of future conversations.

W.I.N.E. is an executive training course designed and taught by Sogrape Wine Academy in partnership with Nova SBE, including national and international experts in the various themes. In addition to blending and networking techniques, storytelling and personal branding, the diversity of the stakeholder network, among other soft skills addressed by Nova SBE faculty, the course has an important practical component. Including wine tastings in all sessions, from more than 35 of the world's leading appellations of origin, this is an experience that will support more conscious and valued future choices.

The partnership Nova SBE - Sogrape in the WINE program was perfect, with a great level of quality, something that the two institutions have always accustomed us to.The journey through the world of wines was brilliantly conducted by the Sogrape team and the group was extraordinary.

My expectations were high, but they were far exceeded. I highly recommend this program.

This is the right course for wine lovers and/or wine professionals who want to deepen their knowledge of the world of wine.

From the beginnings of winemaking to today's production, both nationally and internationally, as well as the characteristics that distinguish each wine according to the grape varieties used, the terroirs in which they are produced and how they are vinified, we embark on an unforgettable journey around the world.

With an innovative and dynamic approach, both the trainers and their guests revealed an incredible experience and knowledge regarding all the subjects addressed in each of the modules.

I finished this course wanting to restart.
