I just completed WSET Level 3 wine courses at Van Belle. What a great experience! The place is very nice, the students were amazing (various background, all specialised in specific wine regions that they could share with the rest of us), and Julee is a great teacher, professional and with deep content knowledge. The wine selected for the tasting all through the 13 sessions were great. I highly recommend Van Belle for learning the fascinating world of wine. Cheers!

I attended to the WSET level 2 course and I learnt a lot from Julee, she was kind and looking forward to answer all our questions. The place was cozy and she gave us tasty appetizers during the breaks. The course was very international as most of the students were from different places around the world. It was also a good place to meet other wine lovers and network.

Spending time at the Van Belle Academy will be something I will miss from now on, as I just completed my WSET III course. The place itself is amazing, welcoming and elegant, perfect for wine classes. Julee and Tristan were great teachers and we learned a lot from them. Together with all the other fellow participants we had a great time and followed Julee's advice to spend time together to learn from each other; that was great advice as we created a great group and I am sure we won't become strangers :)

Learning about wine is fun. I was surprised how much you can learn in short period - not just from a book and the theory, but much more from the practical togetherness in training your senses. You actually learn to listen to and appreciate the signs of the various wine. So next time I open a bottle, I experience the wine different. Can name what I taste much better. Julee transmits her passion in the small group, so learning is playful and fun. Highly recommended. Whatever level you are. But you need to love wine....

Recently completed two WSET wine courses at Van Belle. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Julee and her team conducted the courses with great personal care, attention and professionalism. Learning about and tasting several beautiful wines has been a pleasure. I highly recommend Van Belle for furthering any interest or education in the fascinating world of wine. Cheers!
