TasteCoach™ Wine Kit – Red Wine Styles - Napa Valley Wine Academy

TasteCoach™ Wine Kit – Red Wine Styles

Refine Your Palate. Sharpen Your Skills. Taste with Purpose.

You’ve studied wine theory, but tasting still feels uncertain. Maybe your notes don’t align with what your instructor or study group describes, or you’re preparing for an exam and wondering if your palate is truly calibrated.

Now imagine tasting with total confidence—knowing exactly how to identify structure, balance, and varietal character. You trust your senses, your notes match professional standards, and every sip builds precision and self-assurance.

The TasteCoach™ Red Wine Styles Kit transforms the way you taste and learn. Designed by Napa Valley Wine Academy’s expert educators, this at-home training experience helps you master the WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting® at your level—whether you’re learning the fundamentals or preparing for the WSET Level 4 Diploma exam.

Each kit includes six 100ml bottles of red wine (enough for two full tastings per wine), carefully curated to represent a spectrum of structure, flavor, and regional expression. Paired with interactive eLearning materials, TasteCoach™ offers two distinct learning paths:

Path 1 – Walkthrough: Build Confidence & Calibrate Your Palate
