Highlights of the Inter-Hotel Challenge SA 2024 Grain and Grape to Glass week

Firstly, I gained a lot of practical experience and improved my communication skills. I also learned about different cultivars, styles, and pairings. Meeting new people, visiting wine farms, and gaining valuable experience made it a great week.”
