Public Wine Classes

Wine Classes For Everyone!

The Guild has developed more than 100 entry level classes, seminar and correspondence programs that are available for everyone to enjoy. Classes are also available at the advanced and master level. Price varies by class, but most are about $50. The cost of all classes includes wine (8-12 per class), handout materials, "light" food (such as imported cheese and bread) as well as registration fees. Classes are taught in one of the International Wine Guild's classrooms and commercial kitchen at Metropolitan State College of Denver, in the Plaza Building.
