Description
Cold-climate wines are among the most misunderstood—and fastest-growing—categories in the wine world.
In this course, we break down exactly what “cold climate” really means (and how it differs from “cool climate”), and why these wines exist in the first place. From there, we dive into the grapes, the people, and the regions that are redefining what’s possible in challenging growing conditions.
You’ll explore the pioneering work of figures like Elmer Swenson and gain a clear understanding of the hybrid grape varieties that make cold climate viticulture possible—grapes like Brianna, La Crescent, Frontenac, Marquette, and more. These are not just names to memorize—they are tools to understand, evaluate, and ultimately sell.
This course is designed with a practical focus:
- The history of these distinctive and new varieties
- What these wines taste like
- Why are they made the way they are
- How to talk about them with confidence
- Where they fit in a retail or restaurant setting
The reality is this: cold-climate wines are increasingly available in the market. Customers are curious. Local pride is strong. And without a clear framework, they can be difficult to position and sell.
This course gives you that framework.
If you want to move beyond uncertainty and turn cold climate wines into a strength—not a question mark—this is where it happens.
