This course is your foundation for the world of Italian wine, from the internationally acclaimed wine school, Wine Scholar Guild (home of the French Wine Scholar and Spanish Wine Scholar courses).
Learn about all the key wines from Italy in 6 hours of in-person instruction with The Wine House’s acclaimed instructor, Monica Marin. IWS Prep is designed to address the needs of the inquisitive wine enthusiast and aspiring wine professional alike. As a foundation course, IWS Prep remains accessible but is content-rich and full of cultural highlights that are as engaging as they are entertaining.
The program provides an introduction to Italy and its wine regions in addition to core information on 39 of Italy’s best-known regional denominations. This is a passport to Italian wine and a stepping-stone to the internationally acclaimed Italian Wine Scholar, a professional certification advanced program on the wines of Italy.
Coursebook and instructor alike will guide you on a wine-focused journey through Italy, learning about legendary wines, foods, landmarks and cultural attractions as you “travel.” The program has been divided into three sections, each featuring a geographical area of Italy: the wines of Northern Italy, the wines of Central Italy and the wines of Southern Italy. Within each section, a tantalizing palette of wines are showcased.
Course includes 6 hours of in-person instruction (including exam); 18 wines tasted; beautifully designed 125-page, landscape format coursebook The Wines of Italy: Glass by Glass; one year access to high-quality e-learning activities; in-person exam at the end of the second class.
