Taste of the West Food & Drink Academy

Taste of the West is delighted to have launched the South West region’s first Food & Drink Academy. It is a meeting place dedicated to all involved in the production, processing and marketing of quality food and drink from the West Country.

The Academy will run workshops, seminars and masterclasses to share knowledge and instigate routes to market for all producers in the West Country. The seminar programme starts this Spring and is open to all members and non-members of Taste of the West. Among them will be a session on how to grow a food or drink business, with advice from former Tesco executive Mike Seymour and Peter Greensmith, who has worked with Cow & Gate, Three Barrels Brandy and Baxter’s Soups.

Taste of the West’s Food & Drink Academy workshops will take place between February and June 2010 in Exeter, Bristol and Bournemouth.
