10 Year Old Tasting of Okanagan Wine
Launched in 2008, these tasting have set out to explore how the wines of the Okanagan age and develop. A tasting of 12 wines, all at least 10 years old, is guided by a panel including Wine Plus+ owner Rhys Pender as well as local experts and winemakers. You get to taste your way through the wines and join in the discussion as to how the different varietals and wine styles are performing, pairing food to aged wines and how the wines are likely to develop into the future. Cost is $65 per ticket.

Training Your Staff for the Front-Line
Front-line staff in the wine industry are faced with a difficult job. Customers are increasingly knowledgeable about wine and many come to the winery, wine shop or restaurant with an international perspective. In spite of internal training efforts, staff often feel ill-prepared and do not know how to handle specific ituations or answer specific questions. Worst of all, staff feel over confident and make incorrect assumptions, making your business seem unprofessional. It is essential that your staff project the correct image for your business.

The Wine Plus+ Front-Line Training Program
To fulfill the needs of BC wineries, restaurants and wine shops, Wine Plus+ has developed a unique course to help staff provide the highest level of customer service. Designed around the commonly encountered questions and situations dealt with by front-line staff, Front-Line Training will give your staff the confidence to do their job effectively.

Front-Line Training is not just a typical wine course offering textbook basics on winemaking, grape growing and tasting, but a program designed specifically around the situation faced on the job. The focus is on the frequently asked questions that come directly from customers mouths, the specific awkward and difficult situations faced on the job and the techniques to project the desired image whilst maintaining a sales focus.

Duration: 1/2 day
