Credentials & Qualification:
After many years of working in short-term apartment rental management, our guide, Preston Mohr, began studying at the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) at the Ecole du Vin in Paris.
Preston completed the 2-year Diploma from the WSET in June 2013. He is also a very proud Associate Member of the Institute of Wines and Spirits (AIWS).

Student Testimonial:
"The Wine/Cheese Master class taught by Preston Mohr was excellent! Preston was very knowledgeable about the different wines that paired well with cheese. The cheese/wine was delicious."
- Demi
"Our docent was AMAZING (Preston Mohr) – he went out of his way to speak in terms the kids would understand, he explained things that crossed our path even though it wasn’t part of our tour, he came prepared with hand sanitizer and a knife for tastings, and even advised us on things to do for the rest of our day, with detailed instructions. The tastings were delicious and plentiful!"
- Jennifer
"He not only does wine related tours and classes but has the knowledge and flexibility to personalize private requests. We have used his expertise to help us organize private dinners for six in our apartment."
