"Attending the Da Vinci Flavour Genius Academy I learnt so much and gained a lot of knowledge that I was looking for. I learnt more techniques of making coffee and non-coffee based drinks using different Da Vinci products. Seeing how Da Vinci products works in hot and cold drinks, and how passionate the Da Vinci team is with what they do. Sharing skills and knowledge left me inspired to open myself a coffee shop in my community and share the same skills, knowledge and passion to each an everyone who is passionate to be involved in the coffee industry." - Tshepo, Gauteng.
Tshepo from Gauteng was so inspired that he one day wants to open his own coffee shop!
"The da Vinci classes was the best and I was so excited that some of my craft creations where placed on their winter concepts board. I hope for more people to join and be winners like me. Not only me that made it through, but also the team members that also took part too. The team work efforts. 😉 #Davinci #teamdavinciwinners - Siya,
