The Walla Walla Valley Wine Academy offers wine education classes perfect for professionals & enthusiasts alike.

What You’ll Learn:

Ready to connect the dots between what’s in your glass and the vineyard and winemaking techniques that got it there? This class is where theory meets the real world of wine. In Wine 401, we dive deep into how vineyard conditions, winemaking decisions, and regional traditions shape what we taste. From soil to structure, climate to complexity, we’ll explore the factors that influence wine style and quality—and train our palates to recognize them.

If you’re ready to move beyond memorization and truly understand the why behind what you taste, this is your course.

Course Details:

  • Focus on wine theory, sensory analysis, and comparative tasting

  • Hands-on deductive tasting and classroom discussion

  • Guided tasting of a minimum of 5 wines

  • Limited to 15 participants per session for an intimate experience
