We are very excited to continue our partnership with the Vendange Institute and the Wine & Spirits Education Trust Programme!
For those of you who don’t know, the Vendange Institute was the first program provider in Ottawa to run programs certified by WSET.
The varying levels of programs meet the needs of those who are new to wine and range up to wine enthusiasts, industry professionals and sommelier’s.
At Buyers+Cellars one of our leading goals is to bring more wine education to the Ottawa market, making an inviting space to help individuals feel comfortable and excited to learn about the world of wine.
We encourage you to dive in deeper and to expand your knowledge of wine through both our individual classes and those we have partnered with the Vendange Institute for.
