The Golden Vines Awards to fund Gerard Basset Wine Education Charitable Foundation

The Golden Vines Awards to fund Gerard Basset Wine Education Charitable Foundation, promotes greater diversity and inclusion within the wine trade.

The organisers aim to raise more than £1 million from ticket sales and high-profile charity auction taking place on the night.

Some of the money raised will be used to fund two scholarships for black and ethnic minority students who want to take the Master of Wine and Master Sommelier programmes. Worth £55,000, each scholar will enjoy placements at famous producers such as Château Cheval Blanc, Château d’Yquem and Dom Pérignon.

The application window for The Golden Vines Diversity Scholarships opens on 8th March 2021, and all interested applicants should apply online at liquidicons.com.
