Because great wine deserves a rebel’s education.

Ready to shatter the snobbery around wine? Join our 6-session deep‐dive into everything bold brazen and boundary‐breaking about your next glass. This is not your standard “swirl sniff and spit” affair. Here at Underground Wine Academy we’re pouring truth and attitude—no apologies.


What to Expect

Unfiltered Wine Wisdom

Forget robotic lectures. We serve up real talk stories of vineyard triumphs (and disasters) and hands‐on demos that make wine easy to get—and love.

Hands‐On Tastings

Each session includes premium pours from top wineries around the world. A significant portion of the cost of this class covers the wine. Practice identifying flavors and flaws like a rogue sommelier who answers to no one.

Small Exclusive Group

We cap attendance at just 22 participants. No overcrowded impersonal lectures—just lively interaction personalized guidance and direct access to our in‐house rebels.
