Certification Teaches Knowledge. Skill Comes From Practice.

Most wine students finish a course knowing the theory, but still feel uncertain when the glass is in front of them.

You may recognize this:

  • Blind tasting feels intimidating
  • You do not taste often enough to stay calibrated
  • You study alone with no feedback or accountability
  • Confidence fades between courses or exams

This is not a motivation problem. It is a practice problem.
Real tasting skill comes from repetition, structure, and guidance
over time.

Premier Crew Is Ongoing Tasting Training, Not Another Course

Premier Crew is Napa Valley Wine Academy’s practice-driven membership designed to help you build confidence, consistency, and precision in tasting month after month.

Instead of one-time learning, Premier Crew gives you:

  • Live monthly tasting labs led by NVWA instructors
  • Structured repetition using WSET-aligned methodology
  • A private learning community hosted at learn.napavalleywineacademy.com
  • Full access to NVWA’s on-demand education library
  • Continuous support before, during, and after certification

This is how strong tasters are built.

A Premium “Session Preview” Module

Each month, members participate in instructor-led tasting sessions that include:

  • Guided open-label tastings
  • Blind tasting exercises
  • Flights curated specifically for skill development
  • Optional member-priced tasting kits
  • Bottle sourcing guides for local purchasing
  • Structured tasting analysis aligned with WSET standards

Consistent guided tasting builds calibration, confidence, and sensory accuracy in a way that solo practice cannot.

One session per month can fundamentally change how you taste when done consistently and correctly.
