Level 1 Wine Seminar

Did you know one of the “Top 5 wine schools” in the nation is right here in Denver?  Come find out why our school received this designation from Food & Wine Magazine as well as the Wall Street Journal.  Don't settle for anything less if you are interested in an in-depth wine education from wine instructors with lots of industry experience.

This basic wine seminar is a comprehensive introductory course of study designed for individuals who desire to learn about wine. The focus is to develop a basic knowledge of wine, wine evaluation, and wine description. A professional Level 1 Certification as a Sommelier or Wine Cellar Manager (our designation for wine enthusiasts who are not in the industry) can be earned by successfully completing this weekend class and passing an online Certification exam.

This is the foundation course for our 4 diploma/certification programs.  By telling us your wine education/career objectives you will have the opportunity to design your own customized course of study.  This is a unique and unparalleled approach in the wine education arena!

Lunch is provided as part of your tuition. If you have any dietary restrictions please contact the Guild at 303-296-3966 with that information.

  • Taste at least 28 wines from three continents
  • Receive 150 pages of handout material prepared specifically for this seminar
  • Learn about both old and new world wines
  • All classes are taught or led by a instructors who are Master Candidates, Guild Wine Masters or Master Wine Educators in our New National Headquarters location in the hip Sunnyside neighborhood. We co-share our space with Ryker Cellers Winery!
