Fine Vintage Ltd. is an Approved Program Provider for the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET). The UK based WSET is recognized as the pre-eminent professional wine and spirit educational institute and is the gold standard in wine education.

The WSET offers a series of 5 internationally recognized wine and spirits qualifications consisting of the Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced, Diploma and the Professional Certificate in Spirits. Please see Courses & Prices for more details.

We guarantee that you will learn the art of wine tasting. During each class 8 wines are served averaging $40 per bottle which makes for a first class tasting. The classes are full of useful information and delivered in an entertaining style.

At the end of each course there is an exam. Upon successful completion, you will be sent a Certificate from the WSET in the UK. These certificates are recognized as a qualification in the wine trade, and are even considered essential at certain levels. We will prepare you for these exams!
