Italian Wine Scholar online course has provided very comprehensive materials and interactive support throughout my study to enable me to understand the history, culture, and the particular climate and rules and practices in each wine appellation. It was informative and at the same time very enjoyable!!

I truly adore WSG programs. The website is a bit too selling and colorful (The States influence, supposedly), and I was really hesitating a few month before I subscribed to FWS earlier this year. Also, there aren't many references in the web - everybody knows WSET, but WSG is relatively little known to the whole community. Coupled with the website, I was reluctant to join, but when I got my book and passed the first exam, I was really impressed. The materials are thorough and updated. Thanks to the team, can't wait to join SWS.

I decided to undertake the IWS Programme as I wanted to deepen my knowledge of Italian wine and feel really confident when looking at an Italian wine list in a restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it has opened up a whole new range of wine that I feel confident to try and recommend.

Italian Wine Scholar 2 Program
Any serious professional and/or collector should consider pursuing this deep dive into Italian wines. The materials are clear, concise, and well presented. Students that put in the effort will be rewarded with a broad overview of the classic Italian regions, as well as small/overlooked areas. Further, a big picture appreciation for the history, geography, and soils of the Italian peninsula will translate into a deeper understanding of wine in general. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically endorse this program. Thank you for creating this dynamic and fun learning experience!

The Italian Wine Scholar program offers a comprehensive deep-dive into one of the most complex and fascinating wine regions of the world. I took Unit 1 before the instructor-led program was available (self-study), and I can say now that Unit 2 was much more interesting and helpful with an instructor and learning community. I highly recommend the instructor-led IWS program for anyone who loves wine, Italy, and lifelong learning — whether you are an industry professional or a wine enthusiast. Kathy Merchant, IWS

An excellent, and very detailed, insight into the wines of Italy, and ideal for anyone with a good basic understanding of wine who wants to know more about the wines of this fascinating country. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course to any serious student of wine, or to sign up for one of the other courses myself.
