July 08, 2018by: Peter Jenkins - United StatesI had the opportunity to do my internship directly at Instituto Hemingway and it was a great experience! The young, motivated and very international team was a pleasure to work with, organization of the placement was smooth and very time-flexible and under their leadership and guidance I gained much of new experience and improved my professional skills. I learnt so much about wines working in one of the best hotels of Barcelona area!
