Whether you wish to host a casual event or an elegant evening at The Academy, a sommelier can offer your guests the opportunity to sample some of the world's most magnificent wine regions. Our professional sommelier will take your event to a higher level by offering your guests the opportunity to learn while they taste. This can be done formally when your guests sit for dinner as a presentation or set up as a station for your guests to visit and experience. This service can also be provided as a champagne tasting. Please speak with your coordinator to select the wine regions you wish to focus on and to obtain a quote.

In loving memory

A door left open.
For Rick.

Rick Williams created the Academy of Spherical Arts—a place for beautiful things, good company, and a life well lived.

The Academy closed in 2012. This is its world, brought back to life in his memory. Step inside and imagine another evening at One Snooker Street.
