Online & live series (class recordings available) with wine samples included


Includes all WSET study materials, a case of wine tasting samples selected by Jay Youmans MW (packed in small screwcap bottles), 5 online sessions guided by a CWS instructor, and the examination.

This 5-class course will be taught via Cisco Webex or Zoom on the following dates: June 3, 10, 17, 24, July 1 and the exam on July 15. Each class meets from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. The remote exam begins at 5:30pm.

Students who enroll in the course will pick up their study materials and wine samples at the Capital Wine School on June 2 between 12:00pm – 5:00pm. *Please scroll down to Additional Information for important details regarding wine sample and study materials pick ups.

The aim of the course is to focus on the key grape varieties and regions of the world. While the course provides an overview of the wines and spirits of the world, including main wine grapes and regions, it also covers factors affecting wine quality and style, grape growing, and basic winemaking practices. The course emphasizes tasting assessment and the skills required to describe the aromas and tastes of wine. It helps to develop fundamental tasting and assessment skills. During each session of the class, students taste 8-9 wines. The exam takes 1 hour and consists of 50 multiple choice questions. Those who pass the exam receive the WSET Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits, an internationally recognized credential in the wine industry.

17 Guided Learning Hours (including one hour for the examination) and 11 hours’ private study.
