Included in Tuition
Beer & Wine Training in Nashville
Complete beer and wine certification courses at Nashville Bartending Academy — included in your tuition, divided into two comprehensive programs.
The Course
Two Complete Certification Courses
As a bartender, you need to know how to mix fabulous cocktails — but also be expert in beer and wine for patrons who appreciate these beverages. The training is divided into two separate courses.
After completing both courses, you will receive a certification for each — credentials that bar managers are actively seeking.
Nashville has undergone a staggering transformation. Lower Broadway's honky tonks pour drinks around the clock for millions of visitors. The Gulch and Midtown have developed a serious craft cocktail scene. And the influx of corporate relocations — Oracle, Amazon, AllianceBernstein — has created a new class of high-end hospitality venues.
What You Learn
Course Modules
Wine Training
Exploration of wine and how it is made, grape varietals and food pairing, wine regions, and the proper serving — storage, bottle presentation, opening, and the pour.
Beer Education
How beer is made, aged, and what ingredients differentiate styles. Different glassware for beer and pairing beer with certain foods.
Distilled Spirits
Distillation process, ingredients, and regions. After completing this lesson you will be able to distinguish a liqueur from a cordial.
Bar Equipment & Glassware
Naming your bar equipment, different glassware you will serve cocktails in, and what garnishments accompany each cocktail.
Mixing Techniques
Different mixing techniques for rocks drinks, shooters, coffee drinks, martinis, and frozen drinks — demonstrated behind an actual bar.
Certification
You will receive a certification at the end of each course — credentials that all bar managers seek in a professional bartender.
