I found the course to be extremely well prepared and presented. Lots of quality and valuable information that allowed me to engage not only in the vast expanse of wine and grape varieties but also in Italian history and topography. I made some great discoveries and met some lovely people along the way.

This is the third WSG course I have taken - and they never fail to deliver. Learning about these wines in their historical and geographical context has expanded my understanding of France Spain and Italy in ways that I would never have expected. WSG offers a great way to dig deep into the wines of these countries but you get so much more.

The WSG course was informative and jam packed with information on each particular region. This was a great expansion on my other wine studies and opened my eyes to some native varietals I dont often get the chance to try.

I actually travelled to Piemonte during this course and found that I knew much of the information that our tour guide was explaining.

Italian Wine Scholar unit one is a great course to immerse yourself in learning about the great wine regions of northern Italy.
For a wine fan you may just find yourself wanting to explore the many legendary regions in person.

Having already completed the Spanish and French Wine Scholar courses, I was looking forward to the Italian course. I was not disappointed with Unit One and am now looking forward to Unit Two.

In my opinion it helped me in my work, where we work only Italian wines, the maps help a lot, easy to use the website from the cell phone and the book is very complete, the only thing missing is to suggest some DOCG producers that you have to taste.

The IWS Italian Wine Scholar Unit 1 opened my mind and eyes to parts of Italy I knew nothing about and provided me with in-depth knowledge on the wines from Northern Italy regions. I now read the whole wine menu in Italian restaurants and look for wines I learned about. I have chosen Vermintino and Barbara recently instead of the standard Soave or Chianti and had the pleasure to introduce and explain to my friends.The course is well structured and very well run.
