The Wine Scholar Guild gives you a very deep knowledge about the Wine culture in Italy and explains you smoothly the geography and the history of each region, giving you a deeper understanding about the viticulture and they way Italians approach to wine.
For me was extremely satisfactory to feel that I did a challenging course that will make me more competitive and give me the tools to explain and understand the territory; Have a larger vision of Italian wines, read the labels and know where does they belong and what to expect from them.

Initially, I found the course daunting, but after breaking it down into small parts and sections, I realized how well written and consistently structured the regional learning material was being presented. The various facts and sidebars in each chapter made the book much more engaging than if it had been a textbook stocked with dry instruction and figures to memorize on my own. The ability to share my experience with the connected social media groups provided much needed reassurance and helped bring clarity wheare it was needed. The WSG family is truly a dedicated community of supportive people. Having taken the IWS Unit 1 exam just a few days ago, I’m still waiting for my results, but I’m confident I did well and am very much enjoying the knowledge I gained during my studies. Unit 2, I’m looking for to meeting you.
Thank you, Wine Scholar Guild.
My very best to all who take this course,

The IWS North study manual is an excellent resource; thorough, succinct and comprehendible.

The online modules provided a much needed area for review, complete with flash cards and quizzes.

The information provided in regard to how the exam is weighted, along with clear emphasis on the most important information to study was very helpful.

The Italian Wine Scholar material is outstanding both in breadth and depth. While not everything we needed to memorize is of use, most of the material gives us a deep understanding of the wine scene within a cultural/political/geographical context.

The IWS program provides a fantastic dive into Italian wines, the history of Italy and how it has influenced cultural and viticultural development across many diverse subregions. It is a great "next step" for any wine professional or an enthusiast who has completed a basic wine program and wants to move on into an in-depth study of Italian wines.

Italian Wine Scholar is a fantastic study resource for students and professionals to gain deeper knowledge or to review the multifaceted wine regions and styles of Italy. IWS presents a holistic framework including history and culture to help bring the wines and their regulations into context. I highly recommend IWS to anyone wishing to solidify their knowledge of Italian wines.

It is very very worth to learn about Italian wines and its culture. It was very very hard to study within limited lead time but I am glad that I ecome to choose Italian wines that I want to drink by just reading the label.

Thank you to everyone who is involved in this program, I appreciate it very much!

I found the online Italian Wine Scholar Unit 1 to be an excellent program. I was able to do the reading on my own time and review the slides, videos and practice quizzes after each section. I have learned a lot about the Northern Italian wine regions which will help me in my role as a wine Sales Territory Manager. I'm looking forward to starting Unit 2 soon!

I think it is a very good program, sometimes the information can be very overwhelming. And at times I felt unsure if I was studying correctly, I think more quizzes and more learning dinamics in the platform would be great.

The Italian Wine Scholar program provides a comprehensive look at the wines and wine styles of Northern Italy. The native grapes, geography, topography, history and culture of each region lend a distinctive air to each wine region; I came away from the program confident in my ability to recognize, understand and appreciate the wide array of Italian wines from the varied regions of Northern Italy.

For those who are truly interested in deep knowledge of the wines of Italy and how history, geography and culture interact to make today's Italian wines what they are, this is the class for you. No time was wasted on the mundane world of food paring and wine pouring like some programs. This comprehensive and well structured program can create an Italian wine expert out of anyone with the enthusiasm and discipline to master the material provided in this program. Highly recommended.
