“I’m back in Hawaii after exploring the valley most of last week. I want to thank everyone for a wonderful Level 3 class! It was an amazing class and helped me tremendously. Everyone demonstrated such professionalism and friendship, it felt very much like family. Thank you so very much for a wonderful learning experience… I’ll be starting Diploma later this year!”
Tony L, Hawaii
“I am so grateful for the quality of instruction at the Napa Valley Wine Academy. With every course I take, I learn so much more and feel utterly prepared for examinations. The instructors and staff at the school are topnotch. They are clearly passionate about wine and go above and beyond to share this passion with their students. Thank you to everyone at the Napa Valley Wine Academy! I cannot wait for my next course.”
Tyler K. – Napa, California
“The harvest experience in Napa in September was transformative for me in propelling me forward in pursuing my studies. I also realized that your course spoiled us rotten! The hands-on time in the vineyard and in the winery made all of the concepts come alive.”
