Dears Members and Students of CAPS-Atlantic

We sincerely hope that you and your family are well and that you've adjusted as best you can to our current circumstances. As businesses around Nova Scotia prepare to reopen, we wanted to provide our members with an update on the status of CAPS-AC activities.

Education

With the exception of the New World course currently being delivered over Zoom, there will be no new courses offered until September. The Certified Sommelier program is normally on hiatus over the summer months anyway. Stay tuned for further announcements on fall course offerings in August.

Tasting Events

While restaurants and other venues have permission to resume operations in a modified way as early as this Friday June 5, we anticipate continued challenges in safely gathering people from various households. We have therefore decided to suspend our monthly tasting events through the summer. We hope to resume our monthly tastings in September and will provide you with an update on those plans near the end of the summer.

While opportunities for our community of wine lovers to connect in person continue to be limited, we will continue to share opportunities for you to learn and connect online. See below for two such opportunities, this week.

Stay safe and we look forward to sharing a glass with you again soon!
