Bootcamp
The aim of the Bootcamp is to provide sommeliers from around the world with a high quality, intensive 3 days of masterclasses, workshops and tastings. Since the Bootcamp targets a larger group of sommeliers, the focus tends to be more towards the educational purpose of the event than to the competition preparation. Moreover, it is essential to welcome new and young sommeliers who did not get the chance, so far, to attend such an event.
- WThe Masterclasses are prepared and hosted by first class tutors and selected ASI partners.
- WSommeliers can apply through their respective national associations that are members of ASI.
Bootcamp has been such a great success that it has been decided to carry on with the project as an annual event: each year it will change the continent to give sommeliers access to this educational initiative worldwide.
