Yes!
My school calls January "Independent Activities Period" - a time between semesters when people (anyone - students, faculty, or staff) can offer and participate in various noncredit activities. There's a professor who runs a course every IAP called "In Vino Veritas". It is very popular - the trick is to sign up the year you turn 20, get on the waiting list, then you'll be able to get into the class the year you turn 21. I got into the class during my senior year.
There were four evenings. One evening featured various white wines, another was red wines. The third evening was comparisons by location and by year - we tasted wines from neighboring vineyards, wines from consecutive years, and wines produced by the same winery several decades apart. The fourth evening was "non-standard" wines like champagne and dessert wines. That last night was very nice - we were told to dress formally and the tasting was done by candlelight.
