Sommelier & Wine Studies
The Art Institute of Vancouver Info Session
Introducing a new certificate designed to introduce you to the world of wine.

The Art Institute of Vancouver’s Sommelier & Wine Studies certificate program allows you to pursue a globally recognized education in wine and spirits resulting in the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) accreditation.

We have built upon the core WSET syllabus, considered the stepping stone to the WSET Diploma designation, by adding more instructional hours and content. This means increased focus on tasting and more opportunities to work with instructors on developing your palate.

We have classes to suit all levels of wine experience.
