Why We Created Napa Valley Wine Academy
We’re passionate about our community and expert instructors they are the reason we exist.
Partners in wine education, Christian Oggenfuss, Catherine Bugue, and Jurg Oggenfuss have a combined 70+ years of experience in the wine business and came together in 2012 to found Napa Valley Wine Academy. Their goal then was as crystal clear as it is today: to create a professional learning environment where the student comes first, and excellence in education includes the entire experience: from pre-class correspondence to engaging classes with top instructors. They have always been agents of change and this new endeavor was no different

HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT
We’re premier, not pretentious
We design our programs for students, not snobs. We know wines are complex, but believe wine education should be approachable and fun. (There’s a reason our unique approach is winning awards.)
Award winning!
