Spanish for Business is aware that your time is precious. For that reason, after many years of research and 17 years of experience teaching Spanish to business people, we have developed a Spanish program consisting of classes and a manual, which allows you to learn the Spanish you need to communicate effectively.
Spanish for the Wine Industry I: This class is beginning/intermediate level. It is tailored for the wine industry and includes vocabulary and situations pertinent to vineyards, wineries and human resources. 20 hours of instruction: 2 hrs. a week for 10 weeks.

Spanish for the Wine Industry II : This class is intermediate level. It is for people who have already taken Spanish for the Wine Industry or have a Spanish language knowledge equivalent to two semesters of recent Spanish instruction. In this class, we will review material from the introductory class and learn some new information.

What our participants have said about the Spanish classes:

“I very much enjoyed the Spanish for the Wine Industry classes; they contained very concise information and I learned so much...In short this is an invaluable resource. I work in a Napa Valley winery and vineyard and this information was never going to be available in any local Spanish course. I’m finally communicating with our very dedicated, hard working trabajadores.” C.P., Hospitality
“I have taken several Spanish classes, but I never took anyone like Spanish for the Wine Industry. Finally a Spanish class that keeps me interested and learning the material that I can use . S. S. Viticulturist
“I have absolutely loved the class… I find it to be a necessity for anyone in the wine industry”. D.B. Vineyard Manager
"The class (Spanish for the Wine Industry ) included winery workers, winemakers, human resources and lab employees. It was a good mix of people and we weren't afraid to chat and practice. The way the lessons were taught made a good learning environment. It is great to begin to feel comfortable speaking Spanish. your inhibitions go away. I wasn't afraid to try and communicate." J.D. Human Resources Director
"Josefina goes out her way to work with people. She was very caring and helpful. She's very dedicated to trying to help business people communicate better with the Spanish speakers in their company. I got so much out of the class" S.V. Controller
