Looking to earn a serious wine credential without a long-term time commitment? This summer, the Wine School of Philadelphia is offering its signature Core Sommelier Program in an accelerated format—perfect for hospitality professionals, passionate wine enthusiasts, and summer learners alike.

Over six immersive days, students will dive deep into the world of wine. Through guided tastings and expert instruction, you'll build the skills and knowledge required to analyze wine like a professional: from blind varietal identification to understanding wine styles, regional differences, and the principles of terroir.

This course culminates in the Level III Sommelier Certification from the National Wine School, a credential recognized across the U.S. wine and hospitality industries.

Classes are held in-person at the Wine School’s Rittenhouse campus in Philadelphia. Evening sessions take place Monday through Friday (6:30–10:00 p.m.), with a final Saturday afternoon session (1:00–3:30 p.m.) devoted to tasting exams and final certification.

Whether you're advancing your career or simply looking to deepen your appreciation of wine, this is an unforgettable way to spend a week in the city. No prior experience required—just curiosity, commitment, and a passion for wine.
