SERIOUSLY FUN WINE EDUCATION
Our mission is to provide the highest quality wine education and tasting instruction available in the USA.
WHY CHOOSE THE CAPITAL WINE SCHOOL?
The Capital Wine School was founded by Jay Youmans, MW with the vision of offering the highest quality wine education and tasting instruction available in the Washington, DC area.
Our classes, courses, and events are fun and unpretentious, yet offer the depth of knowledge and insight sought by those wanting to learn more about wine. We will not simply teach you about wine, we will help you understand why wines differ and how to describe these differences.

We currently offer four qualifications: WSET Level 1 (one day beginner courses), WSET Level 2 (intermediate level), WSET Level 3 (advanced), through to the (specialist level) Diploma Level 4.
