Become a Wine & Wellness Connoisseur Today.
As a health-conscious consumer, wine server, & certified WSET professional, I know what it feels like to struggle with diet & health related questions about wine.
Frustrated to find science-backed and practical answers, I have invested thousands of hours over the last seven years studying first-hand organic & biodynamic wine practices of leading producers from Europe, South America, and the USA. My health and diet information is sourced directly from registered dieticians & credible studies rather than headline and marketing driven news.

My ultimate goal is to personalize wine experiences so you can confidently select a glass that aligns with the health and lifestyle values of people you serve & yourself.
The lack of clear resources & courses on wellness & wine drove me to create The Natural Wine School. Through our focused, efficient & engaging courses, we have successfully trained over 200 wine lovers, servers and professionals.
Our Training With Your Words
exceeded expectations | increased wine sales by 20% | thrilled our guests | by far the best tool in restaurant training
Through the years I’ve sat through 100’s of wine tastings, classes and exposés and though some made the top 10, Kathy blew me away... Dust off the old books and learn new trends quickly. The program is by far the best tool used in restaurant training anywhere and I’ve never found anything like it. It creates a culture and understanding of the natural wine business and its essence. For personal training this is just as extraordinary.

Partnering with The Natural Wine School exceeded expectations. Our staff training was some of the most dynamic wine training I’ve seen in my career. Organized, detail oriented and easy to comprehend for all experience levels. Our staff truly enjoyed learning from Kathy, and we’ve seen the impact in our sales!
BRENDAN KEARNEY
Director of Operations, The Salerno Group
200 members of the staff have been trained by The Natural Wine School and they helped curate our 100% organic wine menu. We enjoy significant wine sales growth and increasing customer engagement after training! Our month-over-month wine sales grew by 20% after training and creating our organic wine menu. Guests are thrilled that servers understand their dietary restrictions and match them with the right wines. And servers make more tips!
