About this Event
_________________________
Wine. Food. Hospitality.
Wine education teaches us what is in the glass.
Culinary education teaches us what is on the plate.
Front of House explores what happens across the table.
Not a lecture. A conversation around the table.
Front of House is a multi-session educational series exploring the psychology of hospitality through communication, body language, guest experience, service, food, and wine. Each session combines expert conversation with practical learning designed to build confidence, sharpen hospitality skills, and deepen the way we understand the guest experience.
An innovative interactive approach to wine, food and service – the psychology of hospitality.
