COVid-19 Statement (Updated 1/22/2021)
 Given the impending lifting of some of the COVID restrictions, it looks like the Hinsdale Wine Academy will be able to start a new Level 1 session sometime in late February or early March.  A new scheduled will be posted soon.  As always, Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Wine for down to earth folks

"Deep purple colour. Aromas of rich dark currants, nectarine skins, gushing blackberry, but lots of fragrant tobacco, rich soil, white flowers, smashed minerals and metal. Medium-bodied and saucy but racy acidity stabilizes the wine nicely with the robust tannins. Deep red currants and ripe cherries, laden with mocha, loamy soil, charred herbs, pencil shavings, roasted hazelnut. Dense like characters that make it perfect for cellaring, however it is drinkable straight away once you expose it to the earth’s atmosphere." 
Are you kidding me?!
If You love wine and have always wanted to learn more about it beyond the mindless point systems and verbose descriptions,  the Hinsdale Wine Academy will show you a way to appreciate its beauty through common sense learning in a structured and unassuming setting where all egos are checked at the door.  
Why drive downtown for similar classes at almost twice the price?

The idea...

Lets face it.  Wine is good without having to think too hard about it, right?  But what's also true is that there's a greater appreciation of its beauty through understanding the nuances and the craft that goes into every bottle.  Through our classes you will learn about its history, grape varietals, how they become wine, their regions, and the techniques for basic sensory evaluation and food pairings.

Sounds good, doesn't it? Well,
if this is you, grab a friend and lets meet at the Hinsdale Wine Academy.
