Over the past decade the demand for Online wine courses has dramatically increased.  The COVID pandemic only accelerated both this demand, as well as the quality of online materials.  The main issue has always been how to handle the tasting element, but at Grape Experience this is not an issue at all.  We have solved the tasting issue!  We now have a suite of courses that give students flexibility to combine both online and in person WSET wine courses even if they never go to a classroom – although even our in-person courses now have Online component options.

In Person Courses with Online Support

All Grape Experience in person courses now come with an exclusive and unique Online Classroom component.  A student can attend a course session and then review it through our Online Classroom where educators talk directly to the viewer.  This isn’t a grainy, hard to hear video.  Rather it is a customized review of material with hints about what is important for the exam.  If a student misses a session, they have the chance to review what was covered at a time that is convenient for them.  We are distinctive among wine schools in offering what has become a game changing service!

Online Courses with Live Web Sessions and Tasting Kits

For a student who lives too far from a classroom or can’t make the schedule of our WSET Level 1, 2 and 3 Wine courses we have a new option.  An Online course that can be done at the student’s own pace and schedule.  These courses also have live webinars where students can meet each other and engage directly with the teacher.  If they miss a webinar, no worries, we record them, and they can be viewed at the student’s convenience.  The course teacher is always available for questions at any time.

We provide a tasting kit for all students in these Online classes so they can experience many of the same wines they would get in an in-person course.  The kits are used during the live session so that students can check their palates against other students and the teacher – whether they choose to do that live or at a time of their choosing.

There has never been a better time to take a WSET wine course.  We have made the program customizable to anyone through technology.  Our 20-year track record of focusing on the student is evident not just in the technological advancements but in our availability to be available in real time should the student ever have questions.  You can see more at either https://www.grapeexperience.com/beginner-wine-courses/ or https://www.grapeexperience.com/advanced-certificate-wine/

We hope you can join us in a journey to become a sommelier, wine expert or just increase your knowledge of this incredible product!
