If you believe learning is one of life’s great luxuries, we invite you to join us.
At Wonderground and Mirus, wine education is an act of connection — to place, to people, and to the stories held within each glass. Our intention is not simply to teach wine, but to cultivate lifelong lovers of wine and of this remarkable site.
Set within our vineyard and gallery, The Art of Wine School offers immersive, expertly guided experiences that explore the character, culture and craft of the Barossa and beyond. Through curated tastings, vineyard insight and thoughtful conversation with owner-winemakers and certified educators, learning here moves well beyond the classroom.
Whether a focused immersion or a full-day specialist experience, each program is designed to deepen understanding, enrich perspective and, for those who choose, lead to internationally recognised wine certification.
Our full-day flagship experience pairs the internationally recognised WSET Level 1 Award in Wines with an immersive exploration of Mirus. Guests undertake the course and assessment as part of the experience, culminating in a private deep dive into the Mirus wine range. Certification is awarded by WSET upon successful completion..
For those seeking a deeper understanding of place, the Barossa Wine School — Regional Mastery experience offers an intimate exploration of the Barossa. Through benchmark tastings, vineyard walks and insight from owner-winemakers, guests uncover the heritage, terroir and defining wine styles of Australia’s most celebrated wine region, concluding with a private Mirus tasting.
At The Art of Wine School, education extends beyond the glass — fostering a lasting connection to land, craft and the enduring spirit of the Barossa.
