Wine education everyone can understand

There's a ton of wine classes for the tip-top of the wine world, but where’s that interesting, fun, engaging wine education everyone can understand? At Boston Wine School, you don’t need a Ph.D. in wine to take our classes. BWS is where wine lovers at every level learn how to taste, think, and talk about wine. You're going to love what you learn!

Pack your bags for harvest in Rioja!

We’ve found the place, the people, and the wines to create the Boston Wine School experience in Rioja, and you’re invited! Spend a week there in October learning and understanding what makes this wine region so relentlessly delicious. You’ll visit many vineyards and wineries, and you’ll experience the foods, cheeses, and meats Rioja is famous for.

ONLY 2 LEFT! Wine + food + people + fun!

Ask any Italian if Sicily is Italy, and they'll say technically yes, but actually no - Sicily is its own wildly unique wine and food world. Sicily's blend of flavors comes from history and geography and eons of uncountable cultural influences. When you eat Sicilian food and drink Sicilian wine, you're going back in time and tasting the oldest flavors on the Italian peninsula.

You're in charge!

It's one of our core values here at the Boston Wine School: the most important thing is that you learn what you need to learn. Thanks to our residency at Barlette - America's only BYOB bar - we're taking this to a new level. Here's how it works: everyone brings the bottle of wine they want to learn about, I'll create the class on the fly, and we all start learning what you love.

Meet me in the vineyard

For the true wine lover, nothing compares with tasting and learning about wine right where it's made: in the vineyard. When I first started writing about wine, Greenvale Vineyards founders Nancy & Cort Parker - publishers of the New England Wine Gazette - were the first to hire me, so bringing the Boston Wine School back to Greenvale means a lot to me.

I love what I do - tasting, thinking, talking, and teaching about wine - and I hope I'm able to share a little bit of that love in this podcast.
