Really appreciate that we can explore the details of Italian wine regions and these give me great ideas for my future travel! Just had a trip to Canary islands. Without taking WSG courses i would have never been aware of so many wonderful places on the planet. WSG has the best wine programs for everybody.

It was a truly wonderful 4-months experience to learn about Italian wine culture! I already have a WSET Diploma and started teaching a wine course (world of wines) at college last year. The main reason why I worked on IWS was that while teaching my wine course I realized that I really needed to learn more about Italian wine culture (I read history books such as Hugh Johnsons book and other wine books but they were not enough to grasp the Italian wine culture as a whole). Through the IWS program I was able to get a big picture of the Italian wine culture. The instructor-led courses were nothing but informative and fun! Through the courses I also found tasting friends and had fun online tasting sessions. Im now really into Italian wines and wine culture and plan to develop an Italian wine culture course with a travel component at my college. Thank you so much!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Italian Wine Scholar course. It is impressively informative offering a deep dive into Italys complex terroirs and remarkable diversity of indigenous grape varieties. What could easily feel overwhelming is made approachable through a well-structured curriculum and clear engaging materials. It strikes a perfect balance between depth and accessibility making the rich tapestry of Italian wine both manageable and enjoyable.

The Italian Wine Scholar Part Two provided more than enough information to learn about Central and Southern Italy. It inspired me to travel more to the region and seek out wines from the various DOC/DOCGs. In addition I enjoyed learning about historical events that affected the region as well as its unique geographical features.

Being on the sales side of the industry the Italian Wine Scholar program has without a doubt provided me with an immense amount of information not previously known. I feel confident going into any meeting where Italian wines will be presented. The program also was able to cater to my busy schedule and did not put any pressure on me while completing.

The program is detailed and complete for providing knowledge of the wines throughout the area that would be useful to an audience that was deeply interested in wine production history and tasting quite a challenge for a country where every region is so different.

This is the 3rd course I have taken with the WSG (FWS IWS 1). And as in the first 2 this one was detailed and provided an amazing amount of knowledge on Southern Italy. The varied ways of learning i.e. Lecture reading interactive maps online E-learning flashcards and quizzes solidified the learning and gave me the confidence to pass the final exam. I will be taking the SWS and if available soon the GWS courses. Absolutely love them

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Italian Wine Scholar Unit II (and I). It really has opened up a great interest and given me a very valuable understanding of Italian wines - the history geography geology etc adds to the learning so well and makes it even more interesting. Am recommending the WSG courses to all my wine friends (I have done the French WS as well).

If you are an enthusiast about wine you should go to any wine course. If you really want to go deep in knowing everything about wines from Italy (or Spain and/or France) you must go for a WSG course!
