Berry Bros. and Rudd’s Lee Gardens Wine Education Centre
New Courses Offered at the Centre for Fine Wines in Causeway Bay.
The Lee Gardens in Causeway Bay is no longer just a place to enjoy fine wines – now, you can learn about them, too. Berry Bros. & Rudd are expanding The Fine Wine Centre to incorporate a new area, giving students more space. As part of the expansion, new instructors will be coming on board to offer all-new courses.
Located just next to their Lee Gardens wine shop, the Centre hosts tastings, tutorials, Masterclasses and many different courses to help further wine education. The course list offers regional study, including the L’Ecole du Vin de Bordeaux Series. The Fine Wine Centre explores wine at every stage – from soil growth to grape type, to winemaking techniques and tasting.
Ron Taylor and Jean-Charles Viens will join the prestigious instructors currently teaching at the facility, which officially opened in January 2008. Ron Taylor spent 10 of his 30-year wine and spirits career as a lecturer. He’s a certified WSET tutor, a member of the Association of Wine Educators, an associate of the Institute of Wine and Spirits (AIWS) and a member of the Society of Wine Educators and the Hong Kong Wine Society. He continues to lecture part-time at LiPACE Hong Kong Open University.
Jean-Charles Viens has been to vineyards on five continents, a certified Bordeaux Wine School educator who’s studied every aspect of wine and wine-making.
Berry Bros. & Rudd have been a part of Hong Kong for over a decade, enjoying wide acclaim for fine wine knowledge. The growing Fine Wine Centre helps new generations expand their own wine knowledge under expert instruction, in the shadow of one of the city’s most famous wine authorities.
