Erica Dent
Enjoy Discovering Wine
 Erica’s passion for wine developed in 1995 when she moved to New Zealand, which
led to her completing a one-year, full-time Polytechnic course in viticulture
and vinification
http://www.tairawhiti.ac.nz/. The college has its own vineyards and winery,
so the course followed a complete annual cycle of the vine, starting with
pruning through to bottling and labelling the wine a year later. She also gained
work experience at other vineyards and wineries in New Zealand.
Upon returning to the UK Erica started studying for her Wine & Spirit Education
Trust (WSET®) qualifications gaining the Diploma in 2003. Following a
backbreaking stint at the International Wine Challenge, for which she now
judges; she then worked for five years as the WSET’s PR and Events Manager.
Erica, now running her own company Enjoy Discovering Wine, teaches WSET qualification
courses, Levels 1 to 3, for the WSET’s flagship School in London, at other WSET centres, and as in-house training for the hospitality industry.
Erica is a member of the WSET Certified Educators scheme and runs wine
appreciation tastings and courses for wine groups, corporate entertaining, staff
training, and much more.
