Exploring the World of Agave Spirits with WSET & PATRÓN Tequila

Agave spirits continue to be a crowd favorite, but their history, complexity, and cultural significance run far deeper than what’s often poured into a glass. That’s why WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust), in collaboration with Academia Patrón, is proud to introduce the WSET Agave Spirits education platform, a new global standard for understanding and appreciating the diverse world of agave-based spirits.

This groundbreaking program marks a significant step forward in recognizing agave spirits not only as category leaders behind the bar, but also as products of place, process, and tradition.

An Immersive Introduction to Agave

The course offers an in-depth look at the WSET approach to spirits tasting, paired with an expert-led exploration of key agave categories, including tequila, mezcal, bacanora, and raicilla. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how production methods, terroir, and regional styles shape each spirit’s character, using a globally respected educational framework.

Designed for bartenders, spirits professionals, and agave enthusiasts alike, this session provides practical tools and shared language that can be applied behind the bar, in education settings, or simply in deeper personal exploration.

Be Among the First

This is your chance to be part of the first wave of professionals and enthusiasts earning WSET certification in Agave Spirits, supported by Academia Patrón’s ongoing commitment to education, transparency, and craftsmanship.

Join us as we deepen the conversation around agave, elevate understanding across the industry, and celebrate the spirits that continue to inspire the global bar community.
