2021 Course Dates
The KZN School of wine is owned and run by Laurie Cooper.
Laurie is solely responsible for all lecturing, organization and planning of courses, admin, wine sourcing and marketing. She is also assisting in running the viticulture and wine making at Abingdon Wine Estate as well as conducting tastings and managing the Abingdon tasting bar and restaurant, judging at wine competitions and competing as one of South Africa's top sommeliers. When not teaching, growing, making, pouring or drinking wine, Laurie is studying it.
A stage two Master of Wine student with some of the most important exams in her life taking place in June 2021.
Why are we telling you this?
With all this in mind, I, Laurie, have had to make the decision to focus the next 6 months on giving myself the greatest chance at passing my exams and producing premium top quality wines at Abingdon Estate. With the 2021 Harvest and MW exams looming, the school will be offering online wine courses only with a limited number of classroom course dates spread throughout 2021.
Online courses can be run at any point during the year.
2021 Classroom dates are as follows:
I look forward to be able to run regular courses once again post June 2021!
