The book and the whole program is really amazing. This program revealed how magical Italian wines really are.

This program is an incredible source of information. Overall the work put into building this course is nothing short of impressive. You get great support from the WSG team for any question or problem. Lots of resources on the site also to help you study and integrate the infos... quizz, powerpoints, etc...Can't wait to dive into the second unit!

IWS provides a powerful knowledge, with an excellent program of study that will transform you into a specialist in the subject. If you are interested in being an expert in Italian wines, IWS is the best way to get there!

It is an incredible program. There is no other that has this much depth

An excellent study program for anyone interested in the fascinating subject of Italian Wine

I really enjoyed the course and am looking forward to doing more. I did feel that the exam was a bit too tough and stressful but maybe that was just my revision!

Loved this course!

Great program! The book was very thorough and I feel like told you everything you needed to know for the test. The quizzes were informative and the Flashcards and pronunciation were key!

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.

This is my first experience of WSG and I was pleasantly surprised how in depth the manuals were and how much I have learnt. the ability to taste as well put into context what I was learning.

For the ultimate study challenge - consider The Italian Wine Scholar. Immerse yourself in every region's best expression of their terroir through the grape varieties they choose to champion and why. Discover the passion behind the Italian Wine Industry. Delight in its attention to every detail - from vineyard to bottle and of course, to your glass. Open the manual and enjoy!

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 Italian Wine Scholar program is very clear and easy to understand and learn. I loved being able to study at my own pace with no pressure or deadlines.

I highly recommend IWS for anyone who wants/needs to become more versed in the complicated, highly diverse world of Italian Wines.

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.

I find that I finally understand Italian wines, good explanations, I liked the online quizzes, and very important what you have done with the maps.

The Italian Wine Scholar program provides all you need to master this endlessly fascinating country and its viticulture. I will definitely be recommending it to colleagues and the wine aficionados in my life.

The materials are very easy to use and understand.

Wasatch Academy of Wine always executes and excellent program. Sheral Schowe has complete control of an excellent wine cellar for wines of the program, and has visited, and has a personal relationship, with many of the wineries, producers, winemakers and owners. Dr. Sue Geary, an educator, did an amazing job of presenting and controlling the class. She is extremely organized and generous with her personal and very complete study materials. She made my learning journey a joy!

I can highly recommend WSG's Italian Wine Scholar program both Units 1 and 2 to anyone looking for a deep-dive exploration into the world of Italian Wine. It certainly opened my eyes to a world I was previously, mostly unfamiliar with and is I'm sure just the beginning of a lifelong journey.

Extremely interesting overview of N-Italian wines, very comprehensive with as usual for WSG courses: a deep dive into regional history and wine culture.

The IWS unit 1 is the best program to know about your northern italian wines. Every DOCG/DOC is so well explained with detailed maps it just makes it very interesting to read about every particular region. It’s going to be a great help for me to prepare for my Advanced Sommelier Certification.

A comprehensive review of the wines of Northern Italy presented in a clear manner.

The study material was very helpful. It is well structured and well written.
The Online platform was also very good. It was easy to navigate and supporting my learning process well.
I look forward continuing my learning journey wit IWS unit 2!

The Italian Wine Scholar course is extremely thorough and informative. This course provided the greatest amount of Italian Wine knowledge I have been presented.

The program laid out tons of useful information in a clear, understandable form. Italian wine is a world without end, and WSG managed to get just enough important details. I use the textbook for my work on a daily basis. I think it's a must-have for anyone dealing with Italian wine.

I was really surprised about the precision and accuracy of the book, even more complete of the offcial Italian Sommelier Diploma
