Frequently Asked Questions


What is the easiest way to get to your school?

We are located at 265 E Pender, Vancouver. We are easily accessible by both the Expo and Canada Line (via Chinatown and Main Street Skytrain stations, respectively). Parking in the area is limited, with street/metered parking being the best option.

What do I need to bring to class?

For all of our alternative classes you can just bring yourself!

For WSET Level 2 & 3 you will be required to bring a set of 6 ISO glasses. Should you need to purchase a set, you can do so through our website. We will provide glassware for use in class for those taking Level 1. Computers are welcome for note-taking purposes. Wi-fi will not be provided.

Is there a dress code?

We like it casual here! Our one request is to refrain from any scents, cologne or perfume. Strong scents have the tendency to interfere with the tasting experience.

Do you offer payment plans?

We do offer payment plans exclusively for WSET courses. Should you be interested in further details, please contact us directly at hello@thisiswineschool.com

How can we use gift cards?

Gift cards are able to the used through our website by entering the code provided upon purchase. They are to be used solely for our WSET and Alternative Wine classes and cannot be honoured at any in-person events.
