I learned everything about wines!!

Pros Absolutely everything about my internship experience was amazing. The people were welcoming, location is prime, and the cafeteria area is always stocked with food/coffee. Fun and creative office space, friendly employees, generous employee discount, superb company culture, etc Cons Couldn't think of even one con.

I learnt all about wine in Spain

The atmosphere of Instituto Hemingway was extremely beneficial. The teachers were kind, helpful, and amazing to be around. Their lesson plans not only taught me the Spanish language, but about the people and the culture itself. The eye-opening trips are something that I will never forget, the beauty within the country is simply stunning, The history and legends of Bilbao are truly remarkable. I learned so much in only a few days! Instituto Hemingway´s program is welcoming, caring, and helpful to those wanting to learn the Spanish language and culture. As to wines I must say I learnt everything involved to the wine industry: harvesting, crushing and pressing, fermentation, clarification, and aging and bottling. I was living in a village in the Ribera del Duero region. i lived in a family run-business I can´t wait to return there.

I learnt a lot about the wine industry

My dream to live a Spanish experience was fulfilled this past August when I lived and studied with Instituto Hemingway . The beautiful Instituto Hemingway is truly unique. You are welcomed by a warm and caring staff. Language instruction is tailored to interests and requests. Cultural excursions abound. I also learnt a lot about the wine industry and participated in wine tastings and visited different wineries and really learnt a lot. My suggestion is you just stay in a city and go to wineries for shorts periods of time. They are in remote villages and there is nothing there.
