SommSchool Avis 60

I booked Kellie to come teach an old world/new world wine class for a group of my friends. We are always so amazed at Kellie’s expertise and we ended the night feeling a little more confident in our own wine knowledge! Kellie is just the best. She fit right in with our whole group and made our gathering so much more special!

We recently hosted a session with Kellie at SommSchool for a group of over 20 customers, and it was an absolute hit. Kellie managed to strike the perfect balance between entertainment and education.

She didn't just teach us how to appreciate the nuances of the wine itself; she provided invaluable "real-world" tips on how to handle and treat wine with confidence, whether at home or dining out in a restaurant. Our customers walked away feeling more knowledgeable and genuinely excited about their next bottle.

Everyone raved about the experience, and we are already looking forward to our next class with Kellie. If you want a seamless, engaging, and professional wine education event, look no further!

This was so much fun. I learned a ton and now actually know some things to look for when I’m going to buy a bottle of wine that I know I would probably like. Thank you!

I have taken three classes with SommSchool now and they have all been fantastic! Kellie is so knowledgeable and makes the information so accessible. She not only presents the class information, but answers all questions in a thorough and insightful way. She has helped me learn my preferences and how to buy wine.

This is our second class with SOmmSchool as a fun date night from our home. We love all of it, seeing what others are enjoying, learning about locations and regions and just having a carefree night. It’s a fun, different and professional experience all around !

Kellie has the absolute highest level of professionalism and expertise in her field. She has been an incredible partner to our team at Team Player Productions for several years, and we're so excited for what's to come. She does an incredible job of educating our patrons (and staff!) in a way that is empowering and allows people to learn with confidence. It's hard to put into words just how fabulous she is and how SommSchool is changing the game in wine education!

SommSchool is truly the best find! I’ve taken many classes with Kellie, and every single one has been an incredible experience. Not only does SommSchool give you the tools, education, and confidence to enjoy wine, but it also empowers you to share what you’ve learned with others along the way.

The classes are the perfect balance of fun and informative! Kellie really knows her stuff but it’s her sincere ability to make everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and confident that gives SommSchool its extra-special touch. She brings together people with all levels of wine knowledge, and somehow every single person leaves feeling empowered, inspired, and full of new insights to share. Kellie is incredibly knowledgeable, wonderfully approachable, and makes learning about wine feel exciting and totally unintimidating.

Kellie taught a private class for my friends and I for my birthday. It was an unforgettable experience. She is a wealth of knowledge, while being so down to earth and she teaches in a way that’s so easy to understand. She worked with me to pick a topic we thought would be fun and then directed me on some wines to buy ahead of time. I would 1000% recommend booking a private class with her for your next special occasion.

Kellie's wine classes are so interesting and also great for all levels of wine knowledge. My husband grew up in wine country and I grew up with two parents that didnt drink (aka I know nothing about wine and my hisband knows a lot) and we both found the classes very fun and interesting! Her retreats also look amazing and I hope to attend one sometime. Kellie does a great job of fostering community while educating her clients! She is so knowledgeable but still makes you feel comfortable asking questions. These classes are so fun! Cant recommend somm school enough!

I took two classes through SommSchool in 2025, and they were highlights of my year. Each class was the perfect mix of history, geography, and wine education. From vintner to varietal, Kellie is as knowledgeable as they come (x10) and is incredibly generous with that knowledge. If you're thinking of signing up, do it now. You won't be able to help falling for her love of wine!

Kellie brings a whole new level of excitement, insight, and education into her tastings. Will be living by her wine guides 🙌🏻

SommSchool is both educational and fun. Kellie's knowledge combined with her charismatic personality make for a great evening. If you are looking for a gift, or a great way to learn about wine, a SommSchool class is the way to go.

We had the privilege of attending the Portugal wine retreat with SommSchool last September. The trip far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Not only is Kellie an expert on all things wine, but she is dialed in on all the ins and outs of the wine/food and travel scene in the US and abroad. Every detail is thought of so that the trip wows from beginning to end. We learned so much about the food, wine, culture, and history of Portugal. Everything you would want from an upscale experience was provided. We loved every minute of our trip and made lifelong friends. We travel a lot and will drop all plans to attend one of SommSchool’s trip. We are forever attendees! Do yourself a favor and book a tour with SommSchool, it will be the best trip you ever take!

The SommSchool Costco Wine Guide is the thread I needed to find my way through the labyrinth of wine options. Thank you! I’ve made several confident purchases thanks to the instruction in this guide and love that it’s a short course on wine selection rather than a list of someone’s favorite brands.

I knew absolutely NOTHING about Greek wine, and next to nothing about wine in general really. Kellie was so engaging and fun and made me feel so comfortable despite my limited knowledge. I can’t recommend her more highly! What a privilege it was for me to participate in her class! Thank you, Kellie. You are wonderful. Cheers!

Have taken several classes with Sommschool. Kellie always makes you feel special and has SO much knowledge. Great to do with a group of friends.

SommSchool gives you the tools, education, and confidence to enjoy wine and teach others along way! 10/10 would recommend to anyone curious about the wine world. Kellie is the most knowledgeable and approachable teacher. You won’t regret it!

These are excellent classes led by a very knowledgeable professional whose presentation style is easy to understand and hard to forget! Kelli’s classes are filled with fun, encouraging dialogue and answering questions. I have learned a lot about food and pairings and deciphering wine lists in restaurants. Try one, you won’t regret it!

SommSchool is the best find! I have taken many classes with Kellie and every single one has been an incredible experience. SommSchool's classes are both fun and informative (she really knows her stuff!), but Kellie's sincere ability to truly make everyone feel welcome and confident is what gives SommSchool it's extra special touch! I love how she can bring different levels of knowledge together and yet every single person leaves feeling empowered and full of new knowledge to share. I've also enjoyed gifting her services to others (both wine enthusiasts and newbies) as she has something to offer for everyone. Thank you Kellie for helping me to confidently raise my glass. We adore SommSchool!

Kellie’s classes are inspiring! Her approach is so relatable and her tips are spot on. In my first two classes I have learned so much while enjoying great wines and pairings. I recently became a member and look forward to her emails full of great tips. SO glad I found her and the SommSchool!
