French Wine Scholar Online - Independent Study Format

I love your take :)

As a wine amteur, I really enjoyed the FWS journey, and have learnt so much from it. I have just finished WSET L3 and finding that I wanted to learn more. FWS expanded my understanding on French wine region, history and deepen my knowledge of how French classifying system works and more pleasure in appreciating wine. Will keep going with WSG study and look forward to the wine trips in the future!

The course was an excellent and thorough immersion in not only French wines, but France as a whole. History, geography, culture, through the lens of wines. I loved the course, it will forever inform me. This course is so important for any wine lover, that there must be a before and after date. As all wine roads go through France.

The material is excellent and will leave students with a thorough and impactful knowledge of French wine.

WSA is the best program to understand French wine.
It was so good to learn detailled AOC.

Probably the most effective and efficient way to develop expertise on the subject of French Wine. I will absolutely go through all of the WSG offerings. If you’re serious about wine, these programs are a must.

Excellent program. It far exceeds my expectations. It is difficult to find such complete study material. The evaluation system is also very reliable and easy to use.

Thank you for providing the comprehensive information of French wine regions. Even I took the on-line learning, I still can study under the instruction of program without confusing. Deeply appreciated.

A very well run course that touches on all things related to French wine. Highly recommended.

This course help a lot to understand the french wine and the history and how affect the present and is easy to study by yourself.

FWS definitely made me focus on wine study. It covers a wide range of French wine region and styles of wine as well. I got motivated by studying FWS and can use the knowledge from this course. For the last few weeks, I've been into the French wine world and it will help to broaden my wine knowledge and my wine business as well.

Thank you for organizing this fantastic program.

I found the whole course a friendly guide to draw on my profound knowledge of French wines.

Perfect and good pedagogical & digital structure!
The studies create a feeling to learn even more !

I fell in love with French wine while I lived in Toulouse for 6 years. French Wine Scholar program allowed me to do a comprehensive deep dive into the wines of France - including the history and food pairing - which beautifully set the context. It was like going down a memory lane and virtually travelling back to France through the lens of wine. My course provider also chose a wonderful set of wines to taste!

The French Wine Scholar program is a superb and extensive program that even caters to wine-lovers who are starting their journey into formal education (like me!)

The FWS is a spectacular course for those who love French wines and want to deepen their knowledge. The quality of the content of the manuals and online resources, the possibility to taste a wide range of wines, together with the knowledge and experience of the teachers are the perfect combination for those seeking excellence in wine education.
It is a demanding program, you have to invest many hours of study apart from the classes, not only to pass the exam but to feel that the course is being used to the fullest. Super recommended and an excellent base to continue learning more about French wine with the Master Programs and Study Trips.

This is one of the most complete and in depth courses of France that are available in the market right now... all the materials, either digital or paper are outstanding and make it easy to understand the wide of all the wine regions of France.

The course and the teacher were both superb and I have already signed up for the Italian course in January

Very comprehensive study manual, allowing students to gain in depth knowledge of the history of French wine.

The French Wine Scholar Program is the best way to study French wine.

Really appreciate it.

Thank you!

I learned so much to make me appreciate all the wines more. I may not drink more wine now but I'll certainly appreciate what I'm buying....even if it cost more.

An excellent course giving cultural, historical, gastronomic insight into Frances key wine regions as well as in depth insight into the climate, environmental factors, terroir and winemaking of these regions.

The FWS is an intense, but incredibly complete and exhaustive study of the wines of France across all its regions and grape varieties and permutations. Even for someone claiming to know France relatively well, this course will certainly go several levels deeper across all French regions, and hopefully help to discover or to appreciate regions you may have been paying less attention to. The FWS is not for beginners, and a certain level of basic understanding of wine growing and wine making is assumed. But it is an excellent add-on to anyone's wine education and journey to wine discovery.

I look forward to the WSG expanding its offering to further countries (a German/Austrian Wine Scholar for example)?

I loved touring the different areas of France with the FWS, the program is very comprehensive and the content engaging. I look forward to continuing my journey with the IWS and the SWS!

Q&A site was really helpful. Nancy was quick to answer and gave exact feedback. Also maps were very helpful.
