BC Wine Month is coming up in April, so there is no better time to expand your knowledge about the Okanagan’s favorite beverage.
Wine Growers British Columbia has launched its new BC wine certification course as part of the Wines of BC Ambassador Program. The first level of the course is available online for anyone in the world to industry professionals and wine enthusiasts, and it will be free during April using the promotional code BCWINEMONTH.
“As part of industry’s Wine BC 2030 strategy to ‘Build a world-class brand for Wines of British Columbia,’ we are proud to support the vibrant BC wine industry by presenting educational programs like the ambassador curriculum to increase local and global awareness of BC as a premium wine region that is unlike anywhere else in the world,” WGBC president and CEO Miles Prodan said in a press release.
“Ultimately, the ambassador program is positioned to become the premier certification of exclusively BC focused wine knowledge for BC wine lovers and wine career-oriented individuals, as well as a tool to promote and uplift all businesses within the sphere of BC wine and hospitality. ”
The certification course was created in partnership with Okanagan College and covers topics like regional characteristics and history, top varieties and styles, sustainability, food pairing and more.
