The Italian Wine Scholar program was thorough and well written. Given the amount of Italian wine material, it is no wonder they require 2 units to cover all 20 regions.

I remember completing my degree in Viticulture and Enology in Italy and not understanding its wine regions, traditions, and styles. The Italian Wine Scholar program changed that for me, it gave me this depth of knowledge I was seeking and provided this bigger picture of the industry.

I love the wine scholar program. They’ve thought of everything. Written explanations, maps, side notes, pronunciation as well as quizzes. You learn about more than just grapes and wine. The history is fascinating.

Exploring the wines of a country is a wonderful introduction to it's history, culture and people. IWS provides a comprehensive program of study that prepares one to know the range of wines available and the distinctive offerings from each region of Italy. I finish the program with confidence in my wine choices and in my recommendations to others because of the thoroughness of the preparation I received through the IWS.

The style and quality of wine should be understood based on the viticulture and the vinification, which are frequently called six factors.In the IWS program these are described in a clear and appropriately detail manner. In the study I have found and found many pairs of cause and effect.

Italian Wine Scholar was the third of the Wine Scholar Guild’s certifications that I studied, and it was just as enjoyable and comprehensive as the French and Spanish ones. The knowledge and insights acquired have been an inspiration to travel to new (to me) areas of Italy to search out and taste new (to me) wines in their place of origin. For anyone interested in Italian wines, and wanting to learn and understand more about them, this is a great course, and the manual makes a handy reference.

Loved this class. So much information. But I kept reading and studying and reviewing the material and all of a sudden it just all clicked. Thankfully this was the week before the test.
I really enjoyed reading all the history, stories and learning about a country I knew nothing about. Can’t wait to take IWS unit 1 in June. Next year I plan on taking Spanish and French.

The Italian Wine Scholar Unit 2 course is incredibly useful for anyone who wishes to understand the diverse and fascinating wine regions of Central and Southern Italy. With myriad grape varieties and styles this area can be daunting, and IWS makes it easier to learn by consistent and excellent presentation of the detailed material. I feel I have a much stronger knowledge base of Central and Southern Italy, and my wine education has been greatly enriched.

The course provides a comprehensive coverage of the key appellations, their grapes and their wines, supplemented with history, cultural knowledge and stunning maps, ensuring the learning is interesting and fun. This is especially important for Italy, which is complex and seemingly hard to approach. A very well-made course.

Finding a comprehensive Italian wine focused program was very beneficial. In my current role as an Italian wine sales specialist, educating my distributors and consumers about my Italian wine portfolio is foremost. Gaining more knowledge and confidence in my area of expertise is always a worthwhile venture. I highly recommend this program to anyone in the wine trade and to the enthusiast alike!

I was very excited when I found out about the Italian Wine Scholar program, it suited my needs perfectly. I tried both the instructor led for unit one and self study option for unit two. I have a busy life and felt like the minimum time to study and prepare for the exam was 3-4 months each.
My favorite part about the program was the foundation chapter, it really brought the program to life!
Thank you WSG for enhancing my favorite wine region!

The textbook serves as a very good reference for those who want to understand more about the appellations in each wine region, even though some materials are relatively more important for exam purpose. Besides, the online lessons are also very organized and systematically presented, highlighting the key issues that students are expected to know.
