This is where it gets serious. Learn the specifics of all the great wine terroirs, the quality assessment of wines, and the complexities of grape growing and winemaking.

Here we will master the WSET tasting grid and comprehensively cover the world wine regions. While this level requires a serious level of study, we are confident you’ll gain an expert level of knowledge about wine by the time you’re done.

This class requires a two-hour theory and tasting exam to complete your qualification. You must be able to attend class and practice tasting in order to pass this qualification. This class does not have any prerequisites, but we suggest WSET Level 2 or equivalent as preparation for this higher-level wine course. All prices are exclusive of tax. We also offer payment plans for L3!
