The Vermont Wine School in Burlington, VT provides structured introductory and advanced level wine and spirits education to members of the trade as well as enthusiastic consumers who wish to greatly expand their knowledge of wine and spirits.

Started in 2011, the school offers three levels of Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) courses including Foundation Level 1 Award in Wine, Level 2 Award in Wines & Spirits, and Level 3 Award in Wines & Spirits as well as the WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits. These courses are offered in over 55 countries and 13 different languages and recognized worldwide as the benchmark for wine education.

“Cleary embarks on a fast-moving, engrossing romp through grape growing and winemaking that would dizzy the most serious wine buff… the facts packed away in Cleary’s mind seem to percolate faster than he can release them, and you get the impression he could talk for days on the thousands of imponderables that go into making wine.”
