Our Graduates Mix With The Best – East Coast To West Since 1987

Best career change decision I’ve ever made. Had been working in the computer and electronics industries in Detroit, only to be phased out, laid off or transferred again and again. The Professional Bartender & Mixology Program has proven to be the solution to all my problems. In fact, Wines, Steins and Cocktails helped me land several jobs directly upon completion of my course, one of which is with the Marriott that provided me with a flexible working schedule and a number of great perks. Since then, I’ve also worked as a bartender at a variety of public and private events with great success. No stress and a terrific source of income — I average $17 – $22 per hour. When I finish my shift, I feel energized for a change and can now leave my work behind. Have intentions of moving to Atlanta at the turn of the year and now have a recession-proof skill that I can use anywhere. Thank you for such a great opportunity.
❖ I. Kyler – Latrobe, PA

The Professional Bartender School was a fantastic learning experience and a great introduction into the world of Mixology. We did so much mixing practice each session, that when we went back to work at the Country Club, it seemed liked we were standing still. In any case, we really got our money’s worth out of this course. We’re both college students and we made the money that we paid for our
program back the first week-end on the job. Also, we appreciated being able to make payments as we go instead of in a lump sum. Overall, it was a great time and we’re pleased with the outcome.
❖ A. Moraca & J. Marks – Pittsburgh, PA

Exceeded my expectations. I’m a veteran and enrolled is this course because I wanted to work part-time while I was attending nursing school. It was obvious from the onset that this course was professionally designed. Any individual who is seeking to get the edge, and is serious about working at a unique and exciting place will truly enjoy this educational experience. I was amazed at the amount of information, technique and practice that is involved in this profession. The facility is top-notch, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the training is realistic
and fun. The tuition was a bargain, payment plans were available, and job assistance was provided. Held locally, so it was a wonderful experience for me indeed.
❖ C. Cournoyer – Greensburg, PA

Compliments to your instructors for an excellent job. I’m a school teacher and really appreciated the combination of hands-on mixing, outstanding demonstrations and coaching, which couldn’t have be better. The training manuals and related materials are up to date, easy to use, and a valuable resource for any person who wants to become a Professional Mixologist. The tuition was quite reasonable, and being able to use the easy pay as you go plan, made the program very affordable. I already have a job lined up at a local club and feel very confident as to my ability to perform well on the job. Thank-you for your assistance.
❖ D. Vastell – Youngwood, PA

Fantastic programs taught by instructors who know their trade. Participated in the Professional Bartender-Mixology, TIPS, and Showcase Flair-Bartender Programs. Approximately 48 hours of Hands-On Mixology and related instruction presented by Hospitality Pros who own their own businesses. Was able to get my training close to where I live and saved a lot in the way of tuition and travel cost. Got a job working at Valozzi’s, a fine dining establishment that also caters special events and festive occasions. Hit the ground running without a hitch. Had the confidence and know-how to do the job from the onset. Recommend Wines, Steins and Cocktails to anyone, owner or staff that wants to excel in Professional Bartending.
❖ R. Compton – Greensburg, PA

Was already a bartender at a hotel establishment when I saw some really good bartenders in action. They told me that they had gotten their training at Wines, Steins and Cocktails and I enrolled for several of their programs. One of the best investments I’ve made, got a great job running a bar right after completing my training. I really learned a whole lot about Professional Mixology, bar-management and “big-city” bartending. Have plans to do some traveling and the skills I acquired from my instructors at Wines, Steins and Cocktails will definitely get me where I want to go. Was a real delight to have stumbled upon such an opportunity. Many thanks to WSC and their staff.
❖ S. Collins – West Newton, PA

Because they’ve been consistently been rated as some of the best in their class, I took the Professional Bartender, TIPS, and Showcase Flair-Bartender Programs. I’ve had several great positions since graduating, all of which helped pay for my college tuition. Presently, I run an upscale cocktail and craft-beer pub that has a menu of great drinks and specialty cocktails that I designed from the training I received from wines, Steins and Cocktails. My instructors were the best. They really knew the bar business and the Mixology Trade. Without a doubt, a terrific hands-on experience at a fair price that will get you where you want to go fast.
