Testimonials From Our Students
“I have had the greatest experience taking the WSET Level 2 course with Anne. She has knowledge about and passion for wine that goes far beyond anyone I’ve met here on the Seacoast. Anne’s enthusiasm and expertise excites me and inspires me every class. Whether it’s her multi-week course, or themed classes, Anne always brings an immense amount of information to soak up, and delivers it in a friendly, educational, non-intimidating manner. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to experience wine education through From the Vine to Wine, and so thankful Anne is doing the amazing work she does here on the Seacoast!“
– Maggie S.
“As a wine enthusiast, I wanted to expand my general knowledge of wine so that when I looked at a bottle in a store or at a wine list in a restaurant, I would know what to expect inside the bottle. Anne’s WSET Level 2 course did just that. The amount of information I absorbed has completely opened up my wine world. From grape varieties, to regions, to wine making processes, the course was instrumental in expanding my knowledge and love of wine. I highly recommend this course to anyone who loves wine and wants to kickstart their wine education journey!“
