What our students & clients say
“I was a little nervous to take the class but Sharon's informative and passionate approach to teaching and enduring enthusiasm quickly alleviated my initial trepidation. As a three day intensive course, it did not feel overwhelming; Sharon always delivered the extensive amount of content covered in the course in a relatable and fun fashion!”
Catherine Abert
“Sharon is hands down the best English-speaking wine teacher in Barcelona! There is no way I would have passed the WSET Level 2 without her guidance and natural gift for teaching. Her knowledge across the entire wine sector is truly impressive but it is her ability to share this knowledge in a passionate and accessible way that makes her an extremely talented teacher and one of the best in her field.”
Chelsea AnthonFounder of International Sherry Week
“Now I feel the confidence when I order or shop a wine from almost every corner in the world and I can help others understand the steps in the wine production, as well as in the procedure of tasting. Sharon did a great job enhancing my passion for this amazing world of wine. Now I will have to start considering Level 4!”
Daniel Gomez Mannfeld
“Sharon is a wonderful and enthusiastic educator who brings an instantaneously infectious passion for wine to all of her courses. Her depth of knowledge is incredible – you couldn't hope for a better individual to guide you through the vast world of wine!”
Ejiro Oviri
“There are millions of facts about wine, but WSET 2 was for me about learning what you really need to know. WSET 3 gave me the handholds to work professionally with wine. Sharon makes studying wine accessible to young and old. She is this teacher you want to show your best to."
Job HogendoornSoho House Barcelona
“Having my WSET 3 is a great achievement for me, and I am furthermore proud to be one of Sharon's first Level 3 students. I have known Sharon for 3 years and the more I was growing in the wine world, the more she was becoming this great teacher that she is today. She distilled her knowledge with harmony and clarity to us, always with useful tips to ease our understanding.”
Simon Guiot Araex Grands
"I've done WSET Level 2 and 3 courses with Sharon and I couldn't have had a better teacher. She's extremely knowledgeable about wine and knows how to pass on her enthusiasm to her students. She's also particularly good at teaching study and exam techniques. On top of that, she makes it all fun. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who wants to learn about wine."
Simon BerrillThe Wine Translator

"Sharon is an enthusiastic and passionate person of his profession, with deep knowledge of the world of wine and a great ability to transmit them. The course was very enriching and I hope to be able to enjoy her knowledge again at the next level."
Manuel BorellaSommelier
"I signed up for WSET Level 2 because I'm embarking on a major career change and wanted to build on and lend credence to my casual knowledge of wine. Sharon's enthusiasm for the subject is infectious, and in fact I really enjoyed learning to taste in a systematic way, and exploring the fusion of art and science that is wine-making! I will definitely be registering for Level 3 in the spring, because I think I've found my calling!? Thank you so much for helping to light that spark!"
Erin Van de HeyAdler & Marlow
"I once again wanted to tell thank you so much for this insanely interesting course! Thanks to you, I changed my idea of wine, I learned how to properly evaluate wine and I immersed myself even more in the philosophy and world of wine! In three days I got more information about wine than in my whole life! It was a great honor for me to study at your school in Barcelona."
