We established the European Water Sommelier Association (EWSA) in 2021 with the aim of raising awareness of the impact of water on humans and the connection between water and gastronomy.
With the European Water Sommelier Association programme, we are bringing a new dimension to water by connecting it to the culinary world in a variety of pioneering ways. With our expert mentoring, you can discover new opportunities for your business.
Using our experience, expertise and creativity, we have prepared a new perspective on the quality of bottled water, in which we focus on the values of minerals such as those naturally present in water, highlighting why the human body needs them and what their effects can be.
We are the first to offer healthy water-based drinks that are an excellent alternative to existing soft drinks. These drinks have been specifically created using water that has undergone a preliminary analysis to determine how to achieve the best combination of mixed fruits and vegetables.
Allow our sommeliers to immerse you in the finest water education, staff training, drink list creation and water safety management.
