Thrive in Wine: Class of 2025

We are delighted to welcome the Thrive in Wine Class of 2025! 

As part of our year-long partnership with Be Inclusive Hospitality, we are proud to sponsor Thrive in Wine; a scholarship programme to offer wine education and subsequent career advancement to hospitality professionals from diverse backgrounds. Meaningful education and qualifications in wine can unlock access to senior positions within hospitality, opening a world of career opportunities. This programme is part of Be Inclusive Hospitality's broader mission to advance racial equity within the Hospitality, Food & Drinks industries.

After receiving a staggering number of applicants from across the industry, the team at Be Inclusive Hospitality have selected the ten candidates who will study WSET in wine at levels two and three with the Bibendum training team.

Among the recipients, eight students will be undertaking WSET Level Two, and two students will be undertaking Level Three. The students represent all sides of the industry: Front of House, chefs, managers, operations, consultancy, bartenders and sommeliers.

Meet the class below, and get follow us on Instagram, as well as Be Inclusive Hospitality, to learn more about the students and follow their WSET journeys.

Nina learnt about wine whilst working in hospitality alongside a classical musical degree, and safe to say, wine became more interesting to her than opera. Growing up in Melbourne, Australia a wine region was never too far away. While enjoying wines from across the world, a Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir will always taste deliciously of home.
