ABOUT THE WEC
The Wine Education Council is a nonprofit educational organization that supports the development and effectiveness of wine professionals by providing high-quality training programs and enrichment opportunities.
Since its inception in 2014, WEC has focused on three principal areas: (1) Advanced educational seminars for wine professionals; (2) Scholarship grants to highly-qualified wine professionals for the purpose of furthering educational development; and (3) Financial and logistical support to established authors in connection with the publication of original scholarly works on wine-related subjects.
PAST SEMINARS
The Wine Education Council (WEC) is pleased to collaborate with Cité des Climats et Vins de Bourgogne (Climats et Vins) by providing charitable grants to support its educational mission of promoting awareness of the history and culture of the wines of Burgundy. WEC has set a goal of supporting Climats et Vins with $1 million in funding over the coming two years.*
