Oenophile Institute

I signed up for a Sighted wine tasting to learn more about comparing wines. The class was set up when we arrived and the conversation was amazing. I am learning more about comparing wines from similar regions. The classes are run by certified sommeliers. They take the time to help everyone attending to understand the objectives of the class. I am a wine newbie, but was treated with respect and all my questions were answered. I learned the differences of three French regional wines and expanded my pallet. I am thinking of signing up for a wine certification class. I feel this is a great place to start. The other participants were testing for certification, I liked that any level could attend this class.

Such a wonderful and fun experience! Chelsea has a wealth of knowledge and does a great job with her curriculum and making the subject enjoyable and easy to digest. Highly recommend!

I've enjoyed learning about wine by attending classes here. The space is comfortable. The detail and information is well presented. The wine selection during tastings has been phenomenal. I also have been able to meet so many new and wonderful people. Couldn't recommend it more! I'll absolutely continue to visit.

Chelsea and team are amazing. I’ve had the opportunity to take a few different tastings with her as well as a WSET course and my experience has been amazing. If you’re looking to learn about wine in a chill environment this is your place!

Taking classes at Oenophile Institute is so much fun. Chelsea, the owner and head educator, is awesome and makes even the most esoteric topics interesting and approachable even for a novice, and I can say the same for the other educators she partners with. It's really cool learning about wine from somms, wine reps, buyers, etc. all who work here in Atlanta. It's so evident how passionate they are about both wine but also making learning fun. I highly recommend you sign up for a class and check them out!

I have taken two courses there. The instruction is excellent. Chelsea has a passion for wine that is inspiring.

attended a recent wine and cheese tasting event - it was great! the "teachers" would go into as much detail and depth as you wanted without going overboard. tasted some great wines and learned about them but also learned a lot about pairing the right cheese with the right wine. Small group environment and they were all fun and interesting people. really enjoyed it and can't wait to attend another event and learn more about wine from them. highly recommend it!

Chelsea and her team run the most engaging, fun, and educational wine classes I have ever attended. You can bet that every class will leave you with a great experience of new wines and true knowledge of what you're drinking and how to navigate your own tastes.
