Testimonials

WSET Level 3

I was inspired by the Level 3 experience. Initially, with the world of wine being so very vast, I was worried I would be overwhelmed. My concerns were quickly dismissed thanks to the knowledgeable instruction, the concise, relevant information supplied in digestible portions. I know how important it is to build confidence in students. This is done through support, respect and encouragement, all of which I experienced throughout my wine education with Fine Vintage. I am one of FV’s biggest fans!
