Creating Opportunity.
Raising Standards.

The Sommeliers Academy was created in 2016 to meet a growing demand to deliver world class wine service and sommelier training in the fast-moving hospitality industry of South Africa.  From the start, Sommeliers Academy has been focused on achieving positive results for all our students with more than just knowledge at the centre of our course development.


As the leading Sommelier training provider in Africa, we are firmly focused on giving our students the personal skills and confidence to help them achieve their career dreams. We are now training over 400 students per year and have attracted a team of experienced international sommeliers and the most qualified facilitators the industry can offer. As a student of Sommeliers Academy, you can be confident that we will help you succeed on every step of your wine journey.


As a result of the on-going Covid Pandemic we have developed new distant learning options via our online training portal. Our list of courses are growing please check with us if you don’t find what you are looking for, we are more than happy to assist you.
