Wine School of Philadelphia

August 4–9, 2025

Spend one unforgettable week this summer earning your sommelier certification at the #1-ranked wine school in America.

The Accelerated Core Sommelier Course is an immersive, in-person wine education experience held in the heart of Philadelphia. Over the course of six days, you’ll gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to taste like a pro—and walk away with your Level III Sommelier Certification from the National Wine School.

This program is perfect for:

– Wine professionals looking to boost their credentials

– Travelers visiting Philly who want a week of world-class wine education

– Passionate wine lovers ready to take the next step

Evening classes run Monday through Friday (August 4–8) from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m., with a final exam session on Saturday afternoon (August 9, 1:00–3:30 p.m.). Tasting wines, study materials, and exam fees are all included.

You’ll learn how to break down a wine’s structure, master blind tasting techniques, understand global wine styles, and explore the fascinating world of varietals and terroir. This is the full Core Program—just in an accelerated format that fits your summer schedule.

No prior experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and your palate.

Space is limited, and this course always sells out.

Join us in Philadelphia this August. Let wine school change the way you experience wine, forever.
