Wine program

The culture of dining, the modern restaurant scene, and the food industry are inconceivable without wine and other alcoholic beverages that have become an indispensable part of gastronomy and everyday life.

Knowledge of wine culture and its history, proper handling, and quality presentation and communication skills are all required for professional work with wine. Besides learning the general rules of wine etiquette, it is important to keep up with the trends because wine is a live product and demands continuous tasting, consideration, and research.

The focus of the program is on learning about indigenous Croatian wine varieties and learning by doing through pairing wine with food, visiting renowned Croatian wineries and newtworking with winemakers.

Kul IN's wine program uses a theoretical and hands-on training so that students can get a complete insight into the world of wine. The program is intended for those who are employed in tourism, the catering industry, restaurants and hotels, winemakers, sales representatives, wine critics and wine lovers. For enrolment in the program, no previous knowledge in enology or winemaking is necessary.

Upon completion, the student is going to have knowledge to independently determine wine quality, select wines, pair wine with food and compose the wine chart.
