The Future of Wine Education Starts Here—And You Can Be Part of It

For over two decades, the Wine School of Philadelphia has trained the city’s top sommeliers, wine buyers, and industry professionals. But here’s the thing—the way we drink, talk about, and learn about wine is changing.

The old-school model of wine education?
Too rigid. Too stuffy. Too outdated.

At the Wine School of Philadelphia, we’ve always done things differently. And now, as we enter our 60th semester, we’re evolving again—offering an even smarter, more hands-on way to learn wine that’s built for today’s industry and today’s wine lovers.

Why This Matters Right Now

Wine is at a turning point. Younger drinkers aren’t just grabbing whatever’s cheap—they’re investing in better bottles, learning how to build their own collections, and looking for ways to turn their passion into a career.

Restaurants, wine bars, and retailers need experts who actually know what they’re talking about—not just people who can memorize a list of grapes.

That’s exactly what our Core Wine Education Program delivers.

What Makes This Program Different?

• Real-World Wine Knowledge: We train you to think, taste, and talk like a pro—whether you’re looking to advance in the industry or just want to build serious wine expertise.
• Hands-On Learning: This isn’t a PowerPoint-and-lecture kind of course. You’ll be tasting, analyzing, and discussing wines in a way that makes you an expert, fast.
• No Wine Snobbery Allowed: We’ve always been about making wine approachable, fun, and—most importantly—useful.
• A Legacy of Excellence: Over 60 semesters, we’ve trained industry leaders, sommeliers, and passionate wine lovers—and we’re just getting started.
