Wine Campus was founded in the 1990s by wine writer and educator Georges Meekers.
It was originally a small college providing face to face courses in Europe[1]. Given the popularity of the Web at that time, Wine Campus quickly developed into a virtual wine campus. Today, the wine school can deliver wine tuition to anyone anywhere in the world with a PC, access to the Internet, and the keenness to learn.
Wine Campus is one of the few colleges providing wine education via up-to-date and carefully researched e-learning modules. The school facilitates novice oenophiles and aspiring wine professionals from different countries, often living in remote areas or simply with busy time tables, to follow self-paced interactive wine courses. They are delivered by first-rate wine experts and tutors to whom students would otherwise have no access.
Wine Campus is unique in that it is geared up to also accredit wine stewards and sommeliers anywhere in the world through a network of qualified examiners.
The wine education programmes developed by the school are delivered via the online platform. They are run at various levels. The programmes begin with Apprenticeship Courses (Brevets), followed by Advanced Graduate Courses (Higher Brevets), Advanced Master Classes (Honours Brevets) and Vocational Programmes.
Wine Campus also offers bursaries through the Fortis Plan.
The school changed its original name Mediterranean Wine Campus to Wine Campus as to attract students from all over the globe.
Wine Campus aspires to become a not-for-profit college in 2010.[2]
