“Wine brightens the life and thinking of anyone”

— Thomas Jefferson

Florida Wine Academy is offering WSET’s advanced certification course in Miami starting April 25, 2026 and ending May 16, 2026. It’s an intensive, in-person Level 3 course extending over four Saturdays with the exam on Monday, June 1, 2026. In the course, we’ll taste dozens of wines to prepare you for the rigorous WSET Level 3 exam. You will definitely want to have your WSET Level 2 certification (or have just taken the Level 2 course, even if you don’t yet have your results) so you have a thorough grounding in WSET’s important Structured Approach to Tasting.

This is a serious course, but it’s also an immensely rewarding course. We cover a broad range of material and train you in important skills of deductive reasoning to “connect the dots” about wine production and wine style.

The course begins Saturday, April 25, 2025 and continues the three Saturdays at Florida Wine Academy’s classroom in South Miami, Florida. The exam is on June 1st, two weeks after the final class.

If you want to take Level 3, I encourage you to register well in advance - as soon as you register, you’ll be sent the text, workbook and the Level 3 SAT. You want to have a chance to read these through a couple of times before the first class session - there’s a lot of wine here!

I look forward to seeing you in class!!
