The WSET Level 1 Award in Spirits, fully self-paced. The whole course opens within about 30 minutes of purchase and stays open for 12 months, with no cohort, no start date and no scheduled class. You learn the basic principles of spirit production, the main types and styles, what drives flavor, how to serve spirits and the basics of cocktail construction, describing them with the WSET Level 1 Systematic Approach to Tasting Spirits. Your exam registration and WSET exam fee are included. There are no live webinars on this course, and on-demand purchases are final. WSET does not require candidates to taste alcohol, so you do not need a shelf full of bottles to qualify.

The WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits, entirely on your schedule. The whole course unlocks the moment you enroll and stays yours for 12 months - no cohort, no start date, no live webinars to be awake for. Start at the still: how pot and column distillation shape purity and flavour, then the world category by category - Scotch, bourbon, Canadian and Japanese whisky, rum, Tequila and Mezcal, vodka, gin, Cognac and brandy, liqueurs and flavoured spirits. You will read a label for what it legally means, deconstruct the classic cocktail families, and train your palate on the WSET Level 2 Systematic Approach to Tasting Spirits®. Written and recorded by our head spirits educator, a WSET Diploma holder and Master of Baijiu. Your online exam registration and fee are included; tasting samples are not.

Join us for a focused and highly educational masterclass with Nova Cadamatre, MW, offering a rare opportunity to explore the Finger Lakes through the lens of a winemaker and master taster. Designed to build both theoretical understanding and practical tasting acuity, this promises to be a compelling evening to deepen your knowledge of one of the world's most dynamic cool-climate regions under the guidance of a Master of Wine.

Join us for a One-Day Sensory Intensive Masterclass on Wine Flavor Compounds. Most wine students and industry professionals are taught to analyze wine through abstract poetry and subjective storytelling. You are told to look for "hints of leather" or "whispers of green orchard fruit," leaving you to second-guess your palate during high-stakes exams or critical client consultations. When you stumble on terms like pyrazines, terpenes, or bread, you are forced to decode a complex liquid matrix without a clear baseline. This masterclass flips the traditional script entirely, discarding elitist jargon for objective science. This intensive treats your palate like a high-precision instrument. Feel completely confident in your tasting mechanics because you will isolate, test, and anchor over 25 distinct flavor compounds and structural faults side-by-side against a pure, identical control wine.

Winemaker Bootcamp: Napa Valley is an immersive, four-day adrenaline rush into the heart of harvest. This isn't a classroom; it's a shared mission.

Together, you'll work side-by-side with your head winemaker and industry pros to bring a vintage to life, stripping away the dry theory for the raw, boots-on-the-ground thrill of crafting world-class wine in one of the world's most prestigious wine regions.
