Let’s admit it, for us Italians coffee is much more than just a beverage. It’s a religion, and we look suspiciously at anyone who tries to appropriate the right to prepare, not necessarily better, but even just decent coffee.
In fact, we often judge the relationship that other cultures have with this beverage when we travel abroad, certain that we, ultimately, are the only ones who possess the true formula for coffee: the one for espresso.

We, who love coffee and have been studying it for years, have decided that the moment has come for you to get to know coffee better, for you to love it the way it deserves to be loved.

That’s why in 2021, a much anticipated year, we’ve decided to launch the Vinhood Coffee Academy, an online course aimed at introducing people to a world that’s as fascinating as it is unknown thanks to the #Characters of Vinhood.
5 online lessons, led by coffee experts and bartenders, in which people can “get their hands dirty” preparing and tasting specialty coffees. We’ll explore coffee’s geographical origins and unknown history before studying its evolution, innovative extraction methods, and applications in the field of Mixology.
