Alex Evans

Evans is director of marketing and communications at the Washington Wine Academy. In college, he became interested in the wine industry because of its combination of art, science and culture. What does the Washington Wine Academy offer?

We specialize in higher education of wine and certification. We offer classes in making wine and grape growing. We also have a lot of entry-level classes where we teach people how to taste. Right now we’re trying to work a lot with Virginia wineries because they are making leaps and bounds with quality and quantity.
