Wasatch Academy of Wine Claimed

About the Wine School

The Wasatch Academy of Wine is the oldest wine education company in Utah, opening in 1991. When you attend a wine education course, you get nine weeks of instruction, tutored tastings of wine, a manual, access to an online e-learning package, and an exam sit upon completion of testing. Classes are once a week for two-and-a-half hours and are typically hosted at a restaurant. The school’s mission is to provide an in-depth educational experience that is also fun.
