Excellent Wine Foundations for Personal Enjoyment

Many of our students are not looking for a career change. They join the Wine Certified Program because they want to:

This knowledge is perfect for both professionals and wine lovers who want more meaningful wines.

Wine Tasting That Is Approachable and Enjoyable

Our tasting sessions are designed to be both educational and fun. You will taste dozens of wines in a supportive environment, learning a clear system that you can continue using on your own. Many students tell us that after just a few classes, they feel much more confident and start enjoying wine on a completely different level.
