Queenswood’s Leiths students enjoyed a fascinating interactive lecture on Wednesday 30 November, courtesy of International Wine Judge and Educator Vivienne Franks.

Vivienne joined the students via Google Meet. Under her watchful eye, our budding oenophiles had the opportunity to taste a range of excellent vintages from around the world, and learned about the art and science of pairing wine with food.

The ability to appreciate the qualities of fine wines is an integral component of the Leiths Introductory Certificate in Food and Wine, which is taught as a co-curricular option in the Sixth Form.

We are immensely grateful to Vivienne, an extremely distinguished wine writer, for giving up her time.
