Customized Training

Grape Experience offers customized wine education courses that are tailored around a client's specific needs.  We can either use the Wine & Spirit Education Trust courses, which include text books and a certification exam, or we can provide a more customized curriculum. In either case, we work with the client to make certain the classes add value and help drive increased sales and more effective client work.  

Previous clients have included:

  • Distributors and Wholesalers
  • Wine Producers
  • Hotels
  • Restaurants
  • Wine Marketing and Advertising Agencies


WSET Customized Courses

Grape Experience can use the WSET Level Courses - Intermediate, Advanced and Diploma - and bring them to your offices.  We often take the basic curriculum and enhance it to your specific interests and needs.  That may mean putting an extra emphasis on a specific region or wine style, or it may put greater emphasis on how to sell wine or match it with food.  If you specifically sell wines as a distributor or retailer, restaurant or hotel, we will use your wines wherever possible to create greater impact for your team.

Corporations around the world use the WSET as a part of their major staff training and development.  The courses offer your team a common knowledge and language with other wine professionals across the Globe.  Each member of your team will also receive a study pack that includes a text book which will become a valuable future reference tool. Members of your staff who pass the course exam are given a certificate from the WSET in London. This certification is a valued perk that you are providing.

Contact Adam Chase for more information on how Grape Experience can help your staff be more effective and productive.

Basic Wine Training

Grape Experience also offers corporate training not tied to the WSET course levels.  This type of training is ideal for any organization that wants specific information either in shorter classes or for a company that is focused on only one area of the wine or spirits industry.

We will sit with you to discuss your goals, time frame and budget and then create a specific curriculum designed to meet all of those needs.  To start the discussion how Grape Experience can improve your team's knowledge and skills contact Adam Chase.
