Our Mission

Our Mission

The US Sommelier Association is a Florida non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and teaching of the wine culture to wine lovers and industry professionals.

Our Wine School focuses on the practical aspects of enjoying wine. A selection of at least eight wines will be tasted at each session, offering a broad introduction to all wines. Many wines are tasted blind to make learning both interactive and fun. We also look at matching wine with food, deciphering wine labels and explain serving tips and techniques.
