Join A Certified WSET Wine Course In Whistler, Canada

For industry professionals who want a wine course that is recognized in over 70 countries worldwide. Courses are held in Whistler, Canada.

Take Our online wine courses

Learn about wine from the comforts of home! Our beginner course is SommWine’s How to Sound Like a Wine Pro.

What does it mean when a wine is described as smelling like cherries instead of blackberries? You’ll master wine terms so you’ll know how to choose the best bottle for you and for your friends. Finally, you’ll understand why some wines cost more than others and when you should (or shouldn’t) spend more on a bottle.

Or, you can join our SommWine’s Masterclass on Food and Wine Pairing. We’ll break down elements of food and how they react with wine.

All videos are broken up into manageable bite-sized pieces. Each lesson is followed with quizzes and action worksheets. You’ll also get an invite to participate online with other students for questions.

What people say

Joanne is amazing! She overprepared us for our exam. The online practice quizzes were so helpful for studying.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and are STILL talking about it! Joanne was very personable and we loved our tasting of Napa cabs we wouldn't have known to try.
