"This challenging and  interesting French Wine Scholar program provides a detailed overview of the  French grape growing regions covering history, terroir, laws, grapes, and wines. The instructors are knowledgeable guides and the manual is a great resource! Highly recommended to anyone interested in taking the "next step" in understanding French wines!"

"Christina, it was such a pleasure working with you! I hope you know how much all of your efforts mean to all of us at Hope for Vision. The wine tasting was a huge hit and added tremendously to the event. Thank you for everything! "

  - Nicole Bergman, Hope for Vision

"A great learning experience where wine with food pairings are not at all ignored. The Wine & Spirit Education Trust opens the door to the appreciation of the art and skills of grape growing winemaking and wine tasting. At the end of the course you are no longer intimidated by the labels of imported wines and it will make dining out a more pleasurable and a long lasting special occasion with a memorable finish."

“As a Wine Professional, I felt very comfortable with my level of knowledge and practical experience with wine. I expected the WSET class to be a check the box credential and didn’t have extremely high expectations of expanding my base of knowledge. My expectations could not have been further from the truth! Michael Donohue conducted a tasting tour of the worlds wines that combined his incredible depth of knowledge & passion for wine and food with over 50 wines! WOW! The opportunity to literally taste the globe, in a concise and well-organized course was one of the most worthwhile experiences I have had in my professional training. I know that as a result of this course I will have an easier time staying connected with my customers by being able to draw comparisons that over so many different wines and wine making styles. I am certain that even the most experienced wine professionals will benefit immensely from Discover Wine & Spirits Courses.”

"The Up & Coming Wine class was a great opportunity to sample a very diverse set of wines that I would not have otherwise been able to try from an instructor who was both informative and friendly in discussing different aspects of the tastings."

Discover Wine & Spirits “Learn how to Taste Like a Pro” class was so much fun and educational (just like a wine class should be)! Our instructor was absolutely wonderful!  Have ordered two more classes from Discover Wine & Spirits. Can’t wait to go!

My daughter and I attended the Sparkling Wine class and had a great time! I am a HUGE Champagne lover and the class really opened my eyes to spectacular sparklers from around the world.

Really enjoyed my Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Intermediate Certification class. Being new to the wine business, it gave me a good foundation to tasting and understanding wine. The instructor was very knowledgeable and made the class interesting by facilitating exchange of ideas from all participants. It's a great way to prepare for certification. I've already signed up for the WSET Advanced Class, I can't wait!
