Clients’ comments on our training courses
"We have continued to work with Winevox for some years now, for several reasons: obviously the highly-skilled trainers, but also the quality of service and attention to detail! Brinda is always able to advise us regarding funding for our training courses, and ensures that we find the best solution for the company and the employee.”
"We have had a very satisfactory relationship with Winevox for several years, working together in various areas, namely translation, training and press relations outside France. On every occasion, they have provided a rigorous, high-quality, professional service, and we have no doubt that we have found an excellent partner to help develop La Dauphine's international reputation."
"My WSET 3 training has been fascinating and very rewarding. The planning of the sessions, alternating theory and tastings, is perfectly balanced, enabling faster, more in-depth understanding. Mini of course greatly contributed to the quality of the course, inspiring us with her passion for wine! Always ready to listen to our opinions and answer our questions, she was a perfect teacher!”
"These training days are always an opportunity to meet interesting people. They are extremely enriching both in human terms and on a professional level. They enable me to appreciate a bigger picture, and to talk to people from other wine properties. The guest speakers are generally outstanding!"
