Along with our classroom course of study (currently on hold due to the pandemic), the School of Hospitality, Food & Tourism Management (HFTM) at the University of Guelph is excited to offer WSET Level 1 Award in Wines and Level 2 Award in Wines certifications ONLINE.  WSET Level 1 Award in Spirits will be coming soon!

A note from your instructor,

"I have always struggled with the idea of studying wine online. Learning about wine requires taste, and sight and real sharing with the people around us. Wine is so tactile by nature and has the ability to connect us, personally and globally.  And yet here we are, finding new ways to navigate a new normal and seeking new ways to connect virtually. We're realizing that wine still has the ability to connect us to our friends and family around the world, whether we're sharing a glass on Zoom or exploring a new region or vineyard by tasting a new bottle.
For the first time, we'll be offering virtual WSET courses to study wine online with us. Not only will you have access to the WSET online platform, but we will be scheduling bonus online lectures and virtual tastings that will allow our students to learn from a distance, while still having the opportunity to engage and become a part of our wine community."
