Bodegas El Grifo and Canarias Wine Academy, a school accredited by the prestigious Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), announce the launch of their first level 3 course in Wines on the island of Lanzarote, scheduled for early 2025. This is the first time that such advanced wine training will be given on the island, marking a milestone in Lanzarote's educational offering.
After the success of the level 1 and 2 courses taught throughout 2024, the academy, whose headquarters in Lanzarote is Bodegas El Grifo, is preparing to take its students to a more advanced level. This program will allow participants to deepen their knowledge of wine tasting, viticulture, oenology, and the systematic analysis of wine under rigorous standards.

A commitment to advanced training in Lanzarote
The WSET Level 3 in Wines course, which will be offered for the first time in Lanzarote, not only represents an advance in the island's training offer, but also responds to the growing demand for advanced qualifications in the local wine sector.
Students will learn to assess the quality of wines in greater depth, as well as identify regional styles and characteristics, skills highly valued both in the industry and by wine lovers.

"We are very proud to bring WSET level 3 training to the Canary Islands and especially to Lanzarote, which reinforces our commitment to educational excellence in the wine sector.
