Fine Vintage has developed its own series of 1 day courses on the following topics.
Wines of France, Wines of Italy, Food and Wine Pairing, Become a Sommelier, and The Business of Wine.
The Fine Vintage Certification courses were created as fun and affordable courses (mostly at $299 for the day), where you could taste some fantastic wines and learn about a specific topic that interests you.
The courses take place on a Saturday, and include an expert presentation on a specific topic, accompanied by a 1st class tasting. Some of the courses include an extended multi-course catered lunch (e.g. Italy, France, Food and Wine Pairing), so you have various small plates to pair with the wines.
At the end of each Fine Vintage course you will receive a Certificate of completion. This Certificate represents specialist knowledge in a specific topic. There are no exams in these courses.
