For Enthusiasts

Even if you don’t intend to make a career out of your knowledge, education in wine can improve your social life and confidence, and give you greater insight into your passion.

For Professionals

If you are looking to make a career out of your passion for wine, we can help. Our Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) qualifications are considered the gold standard, designed for those already established in the wine industry or looking to break into it.

When working with clients at Tim’s Wine Market it is immediately apparent when I am helping a Slate Wine Academy student or graduate. They ask more complex questions, aspire to understand each bottle to a greater degree, and bring a professional level explanation to the experience they are seeking. Professionally it also allows us to offer a wider range of unique selections, as the growing legion of Slate graduates constantly want to stay on the cutting edge of what is new and interesting in wine.

Slate Wine Academy has given myself and my team a critical leg up in wine knowledge captured through their WSET courses. The instructors are industry professionals that are engaged, supportive and always available to assist their students with questions or concerns. Working in a wine and hospitality driven environment, I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn with Lee and his team for this crucial credentialing process.
