Why Premier Crew Exists

Wine education does not stop after a course ends.

Many students ask:

  • How do I keep improving my tasting skill?
  • How do I stay sharp between certifications?
  • How do I continue learning without enrolling in another full course?

Premier Crew was created to solve that problem.

It is a place where wine students, professionals, and passionate enthusiasts can continue developing their palate, deepen their knowledge, and stay connected to a vibrant wine learning community.

How Premier Crew Works

Step 1

Join the membership and access the full library of learning resources, including 10 on-demand online courses

Step 2

Attend monthly live Tasting Labs led by expert instructors.

Step 3

Use guided tasting tools, study resources, exam prep tools, and learning videos to strengthen your knowledge.

Step 4

Connect with fellow wine learners and professionals inside the community.

Monthly Live Tasting Labs

Think of this as your virtual tasting group led by expert educators.

Each month, members join live guided tastings that help you refine your palate and gain confidence describing wine.

During these sessions, you will:

  • Taste wines alongside expert instructors
  • Calibrate your palate for acidity, tannin, oak, and balance
  • Explore regional and stylistic tasting themes
  • Compare your tasting notes with other participants

Tasting Labs are interactive, educational, and designed to help you become a better taster over time.

Upcoming Tasting Labs

Members receive wine lists or tasting kits in advance so they can participate fully.
