Absolutely! Cloud Wine is much more affordable than its competitors and even offers more. The ticket price includes a digital course book, an exam, excellent wines and nice extra’s.

What’s more, after a Cloud Wine wine course you will no longer be bothered by wrong wine choices. Bad wine choices are a waste of your money. Say you buy one 8 euro wine a week then you will have the wine course out of your pocket within two months. After that it’s just (wine) profit 😊.

Where other wine educators only give you the knowledge, with Cloud Wine you will understand wine. You will learn to translate all the wine knowledge you gain at Cloud Wine into daily practice. We leave out the unnecessary facts so that you feel comfortable in the world of wine within no time. At each wine course your skills are tested and with great power comes a great (and official) diploma!

The Wine course LIGHT takes only one session. It is a great way to discover Cloud Wine and the wine world. It is fun, accessible and contains valuable wine knowledge.

The REGULAR wine course lasts four sessions. It provides a more complete overview of the world of wine and more opportunity to master wine tasting.

To make the most of wine course REGULAR, we recommend taking the LIGHT course first. You already gain valuable wine tasting experiences this way. Are you working in hospitality or in a wine store? Do you often go on wine trips or are you up for the challenge? Then feel welcome to join the REGULAR wine course straight away.

The wine courses from Cloud Wine are currently available in Utrecht and Amsterdam city. The locations of the wine course are very cosy and easy to reach by bicycle and public transportation.

Cloud Wine is recognised by the CRKBO as a training institution. The teachers and wine courses demonstrably comply with the Quality Code for Training Institutes for Short Professional Education (Kwaliteitscode voor Opleidingsinstituten voor Kort Beroepsonderwijs). The CRKBO standards and conditions are drawn up by the CPION: an independent organisation with extensive experience in the field of assessing training courses in the Netherlands. In other words, Cloud Wine is an honest and reliable company.

The wine courses and all related material are created by the owner of Cloud Wine, Robert de Zeeuw. Following his Masters degree in Science and Business he started taking wine courses up to the highest level. Everything he learned through wine courses, wine books, wine trips and live practice he translates back into the Cloud Wine wine courses.

Yes you can! It takes some getting used to, but you can enjoy wine as much as always even when spitting it out. This is completely harmless: you do not absorb any alcohol this way. Fun fact: a Dutch team of researchers have scientifically proven this (read the article here). By the way, you are never the only one spitting: Cloud Wine joins you!

It is always annoying when you have to blow off your wine outing. Just like concert tickets it is not possible to return or reschedule the ticket, however you are allowed to send a replacement. Out of courtesy Cloud Wine can put you on the reserve list for a small fee. In any case give us a call (see your order confirmation) or send us an email. That way we are informed. Do you want to know more about our cancellation policy? Check our Terms and Conditions.

With Cloud Wine wine courses, everything is taken care of for you. Easy does it. The course material that you receive in advance is meant to be read and understood, especially when you are attending the REGULAR wine course. That way, you get the most out of what Cloud Wine has to offer you. Also it might come in handy if you want to pass the exam at the end of the wine course 😄.

Unfortunately, no. What we can do is put you on the reserve list (see our Terms and Conditions). Should you unexpectedly have to miss a lesson, always let us know.
