Reservations Policy:

Attendance at any Washington Wine Academy event is based on a first-come, first-serve basis. We will make every effort to accommodate all guests, but there are times when an event might be full, and we will not be able to accept further reservations. All reservations are prepaid with a major credit card or check. 


Payment Policy:

Payment must be by credit card via PayPal or check. If paying by check, please send an email to Events@WashingtonWineAcademy.org to confirm your space.

If you have any questions, contact Jim Barker or call our office at (703) 971-1525. 

If paying by check, mail payment to:

Washington Wine Academy
P.O. Box 30800
Alexandria, VA 22310

Refusal of Service:

Washington Wine Academy reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. In order to ensure the safety and happiness of all our guests, attendees will be asked to leave should they conduct themselves in an unbecoming manner including, but not limited to, intoxication, harassment, verbal or physical assault on any guest or Washington Wine Academy associate.

Attendance Policy:

You must be at least 21 years old to attend our events, and we check everyone ID, regardless of age. If a guest is unable to show proof of age, they will not be able to attend the event and no refund will be issued.

Snow Policy:

In the event of wintery conditions, the Washington Wine Academy will continue to run classes as long as the Metro remains in operation. In extreme cases, the Washington Wine Academy reserves the right to cancel, though these circumstances will be considered on an individual basis. If that occurs, all efforts will be taken to notify participants via the means of communication provided to us by them. Please check main website page for weather status.

Cancellation Policy:

The Washington Wine Academy offers a full refund up until 72 hours before an event. Unfortunately, after that time, we are unable to resell your seat, so the registration is transferable to someone else, but not refundable.

All expiration dates are adhered to and future credits are not granted.

If you have any questions about any of our policies, please feel free to contact Jim Barker or call our office at (703) 971-1525.
