Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Courses

Customised Programmes
An exclusive training program, conceived, designed, and created specifically for you. Ideal for teams, team-building activities, and corporate events, with content fully tailored to your goals.
Where do our training sessions take place?
Porto
Much more than just a classroom. Our headquarters is a space designed to welcome, inspire, and offer tastings. The location is no accident: overlooking the Douro River and near the historic center of V.N. de Gaia, surrounded by a unique ecosystem of knowledge and wine heritage—the Port Wine Cellars.
World
The Academy can't fit into just one building. We take training courses to companies and organise international sessions wherever there is a desire to learn. We cross cultures, bring communities together and spread the passion for wine around the world.
