RALEIGH, N.C., December 18, 2019 – Registration is now open for 2020 courses (January through March) at Vitis House, the first professional wine school in North Carolina. Following a successful five-class launch in September, the school releases new curriculum for the new year—WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 courses, and three specially-designed classes by Chef Doreen Colondres:

(January) “Malbec and Empanadas:” a Taste of Argentina

(February, Valentine’s Day inspired) “Caviar, Ibérico and Bubbles”  -and-  “Romantic Reds:” Unique Grape Varieties of Italy

The wine-pairing classes and WSET courses will be held at Loading Dock Raleigh, located at 1053 E. Whitaker Mill Rd. Suite 115.

In conjunction with wine classes, Vitis House also offers interactive cooking classes for corporate, private, and team-building events.

In 2013, Colondres became the first Hispanic Celebrity Chef for Bordeaux Wine Council. She was also an Ambassador of the Ribera del Duero region of Spain and is currently a Chef Ambassador for Fermin Iberico Ham, the most prestigious pork in the world.

The official crystal wine glasses of Vitis House are sponsored by worldwide glassware innovator, Riedel. The design of this specific Riedel glassware, “Degustazione,” accentuates aromas, emphasizes fruit, and balances tannins.

“I am blown away by the amount of enthusiastic, positive engagement I’ve received from the Triangle since the launch in September,” says Colondres. “It is evident that there is a significant audience of wine lovers in the region and I look forward to connecting with fellow wine connoisseurs throughout the state!”
