- A visit to the Robertson Wine Valley for expert insight into wine pairing; the selection of the most suitable wines to compliment each dish you’ll prepare.

- Finessing the art of portions; how much to plate and serve guests to ensure satisfaction.
- The course culminates with work experience in a real operating kitchen environment, from preparation to plating, and sending out food to eager restaurant patrons.
