Campari Academy - Discover Inspiring Bartender Education

Campari Academy Presents

Part 1

We meet the bartenders who are championing a local approach – encouraging and inspiring those around them to get into their own backyard.

Part 2

We explore how bartenders are getting involved with their own local communities and showcasing local ingredients in their drinks.

Part 3

We open on a discussion about the value of agriculture – and the perceived value we give (or don’t) to the everyday ingredients that bartenders use.

In search of locality

In this episode, we go in-depth into the importance of understanding who and what are behind the ingredients that we use behind our bars.

We go on the road to speak to experts from the UK, Thailand and Argentina who have focused their careers on highlighting the value of looking after the land and communities who cultivate ingredients.
