APWASI is a non-profit organization based in Vancouver, Canada.

Over the past decade, there has been an unprecedented rise in interest in both wine and spirits in the Asia region. This phenomena has resulted in an increased number of wine and spirit professionals worldwide looking to increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. These professionals are eagerly seeking more practical educational platforms to develop their personal knowledge base. The world in Asia is fast paced, highly competitive and time is a treasure that cannot be replicated nor bought. Education is the key to entering any new profession. What is less clear is the best, most efficient, methods for achieving those career goals, especially in Asia.

Made Possible with grants from The Government of Canada.

TESTIMONIALS

George Chu

Professional Chef

Being a member of the CONFRERIE DE LA CHAINE DES ROTISSEURS I take my food and wine very seriously. This is my profession and I was expecting high standards in the level of wine courses as well. I was not disappointed and I would unreservedly recommend the wine introduction and wine pairing courses as I found these two courses which I took to be extremely useful, practical and high informative. A job well done APWASI.

Michael Lee (Wine Exporter and wine professional)

Wine Exporter & Professional

I had read about and studied wine courses about Bordeaux, but had never been there. My tour to Bordeaux was exhilarating, dynamic and above all I touched, saw and felt the world of wine at my finger tips on this tour. We visited world class wineries like Chateau Haut Brion, Chateau Pichon Baron and famous region of Sauternes and Graves. Great and what an experience looking forward to touring Italy with APWASI.

Gayatri Keshav

Wine Manager

The course I took was interesting, to the point, practical and cleared many previously hidden facts for me. The knowledge gained from their course is in use every day and I am now imparting that to my staff. I will be enrolling in another course thank you APWASI. I can now understand my Asian clients better.

Marino Agianopoluos (Restauranteur)

Learning about wine with APWASI has made my business more profitable and my customers keep on coming back. Their wine course was phenomenal. A huge thank you.

Vincent Tan (Wine Exporter)

The course was highly educational for me and I now apply that knowledge in my export business. Without this course I could not tell the difference.

Emily Lee

When I commenced the programme, I gave myself one year to challenge my thinking, change my outlook and choose my next step. This could not have been achieved without the remarkable opportunities and strategic tools afforded to me.
