EDUCATION AND LEARNING

Wine knowledge delivered with clarity, purpose and hospitality focus.

At Larsen-Robert & Associates, education is a core part of how we build value for our partners. Led by two Master Sommeliers, our training and learning programmes are designed to raise confidence, support commercial goals, and enhance the guest experience across every level of service.

Whether delivered to front-of-house teams, private members, or hospitality guests, our approach is always hands-on, engaging, and practical.

For Hospitality Teams

We work with hotels, restaurants, and private clubs to deliver on-site or remote education sessions that build real-world skills.

What we offer:

• Tailored wine training for FOH and sommelier teams

• Upselling techniques linked to your wine list

• Introduction to fine wine and vintage awareness

• Training on specific regions, producers or themes

• Service standards and team confidence building

Programmes can be one-off or part of a long-term wine strategy.

For Guests and Clients

We design and deliver guest-facing wine education in luxury settings, always balancing insight with accessibility.

Examples include:

• Masterclasses and vertical tastings

• Food and wine pairing sessions

• Producer-led storytelling events

• Wine discovery workshops for corporate or private groups

Each session is curated around your space, audience and occasion.

Led by Experience

Our programmes are delivered by Kathrine Larsen MS and Clement Robert MS – with over 30 years' combined experience in wine education, hospitality leadership, and front-line service across the UK and beyond.

We adapt our content and tone to suit every audience – whether training seasoned sommeliers or introducing new staff to the world of wine.
