The PreSomm Wine Course provides its students with a higher level of wine theory and wine service, prepares them for job promotions in the hospitality field, and inspires future education certifications such as Introductory-level Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers or Certified Specialist of Wine through Society of Wine Educators.

Course Price $595: Includes PreSomm Course Book, PreSomm Maps & Graphics book, 8 lectures, weekly wine tastings, exam credentials.

Graduation Requirements: Students are expected to attend all 8 classes in order to graduate, and pass a final exam in both wine theory and wine service (we practice wine service each week). There are two bye weeks, so students have a break to study. 

*Course books ship in August, and may be picked up in advance of class.

*Partner, Trade, and Group packages available. Please email contact below.
