How to Pass WSET Level 3: Expert Tips + Why In-Person Learning Matters

Choosing the right school matters — especially for a challenging and advanced qualification like WSET Level 3. At Vitis House, our mission is simple: give you the knowledge, confidence, and support you need to succeed from day one. And when you take the course in person with us in Raleigh, the experience becomes even stronger.

1️⃣ Expert Educators Who Live What They Teach

Our instructors are passionate industry professionals with decades of experience in wine, food, and education. We bring global perspective, cultural context, and real-world stories that make the content click.

2️⃣ A Complimentary Prep Session to Set You Up for Success

After you register, you’ll get your printed or digital study pack to begin your 55 hours of study. We also offer a free online prep class to guide you on how to study before the course begins.

3️⃣ Immersive Tastings With Benchmark Wines

We taste intentionally. Every wine is chosen to highlight a classic style, region, or learning outcome — so your theory and tasting connect.

And yes… our tasting pass rate is 99%.

4️⃣ In-Person Learning That Changes Everything

There’s something special about being in the room:

• You feel the wines, the energy, the questions, the “aha!” moments.
• You taste side-by-side with peers (a huge advantage at this level).
• You get instant feedback on structure, notes, and technique.

We slow down when something is confusing and go deeper when the room gets curious. We walk around, check your notes, guide your SAT approach, and help you make those small adjustments that make a big difference.

You’re not alone with a textbook — you’re part of a motivated, supportive group. And that makes Level 3 not just easier… but more enjoyable.

5️⃣ A Supportive Community (You Don’t Do This Alone!)

Our staff and community is welcoming and built around connection. You’ll study alongside wine lovers, professionals, and explorers who inspire you every step of the way.

6️⃣ Tools & Recommendations That Boost Your Success

We guide you on what to read, how to study, and how to use your materials effectively — plus optional classes like Sensory 101 to strengthen your tasting confidence before Level 3 begins.

7️⃣ A School Built Around Travel, Food & Culture

We’re not just a wine school. We’re travelers, cooks, educators, and storytellers. Our classes are shaped by real-world experiences that bring wine to life in a richer, more memorable way.

8️⃣ A Proven Track Record

Our students consistently pass with strong results thanks to expert instruction, structure, and personalized support.
