There’s a ton of great wine education out there for people at the top of the wine world – WSET, Master Somm, Master of Wine, multiple wine scholars – but what about the rest of us? Where’s that useful, understandable, engaging wine education for people at all levels of experience who love wine or maybe work with wine?

Welcome to the Boston Wine School!

You don’t have to be a somm – or even aspire to be a somm – to take our classes. BWS is a 100% snob free zone where real people come to learn how to taste, think, and talk about wine. And food. And history, geology, geography, you name it – all the ways people understand and engage with wine.

We know how to make wine class a delightful workshop where you put what you learn about yourself and technical wine tasting into direct expression. Classes are small – usually 14 max – and our signature teaching style is interactive, technically informative, and deeply engaging. We teach and learn about wine by tasting wine, and equally important, our students learn about themselves and each other.

Stone Zoo is located near the Spot Pond reservoir in Stoneham, Massachusetts, and is operated and managed by Zoo New England. Zoo New England's mission is to inspire people to protect and sustain the natural world for future generations by creating fun and engaging experiences that integrate wildlife and conservation programs, research, and education.

For more than 100 years, Stone Zoo has delighted generations of visitors. This 26-acre site is home to reindeer, white-cheeked gibbons, North American river otters, a pack of Mexican gray wolves and a whole range of fascinating animals from around the world. The Treasures of the Sierra Madre habitats feature cougars, a jaguar and Gila monsters. Stroll through the colorful and immersive Caribbean Coast to see Caribbean flamingos, and don’t miss a stop by the black bear habitat and spend time with Smoky and Bubba, or the Himalayan Highlands home to magnificent snow leopards.

ALL GUESTS must be at least 21 years of age.
