Wine list development & staff training

Virtual Vineyards now offers the valuable resource of creating a dynamic and value driven wine list, whilst training your staff in wine and spirits for your restaurant or hotel to drive revenues and enhance guest experiences.

According to the Association for Talent Development (ATD), companies that offer comprehensive training programs have 218% higher income per employee than companies without formalized training. These companies also enjoy a 24% higher profit margin than those who spend less on training.

So as the industry is opening back up again, take the chance to be ahead of your competitors and train your staff in all things wine and service.

Brigid O'Hora our main educator has a Masters in Hospitality Management and a HDiploma in Wine Studies from WSET. She has spent 25 years working in the restaurant industry in Dublin, Pairs, Sydney and Boston. Having worked as both a Restaurant Manager and a Sommelier, her valuable insight and experience will be at the forefront of the training.

She has curated wine lists for many restaurants with successful results such as Orwell Road, Locks Restaurant, Domoland Castle, Coppinger Row and L'Gueleton.

"The team at Orwell Road cleverly enlisted the help of Brigid O'Hora, a wine consultant and educator when compiling the list and the result is wonderful. The selection is compact, yet food centred, and old world focused without relying on the conventional"
