Florida Wine Academy® is the leading provider of wine, spirits and sake education in Florida. We offer Sake Sommelier Association, WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) and Wine Scholar Guild courses.

Additionally, Florida Wine Academy® offers consulting and on-site training services for restaurants, bars, and wine retailers. These trainings include wine list design and staff training on wine pairing, handling, and service. Trainees come away with a deeper understanding of the products they sell, which results in better guest satisfaction and sales growth. We also work with private collectors on cellar management; advice on buying fine and rare wines and when to taste them; auction representation.

Finally, we offer special seminars, educational tastings, and corporate events. Original curriculums for Grape to Glass, the Lab Series, and a Bordeaux Masterclass are some of the most recent additions to our schedule. We regularly work together with outside educators to bring additional courses for our students, including Master of Rioja DOCa.
