The Spanish Wine Scholar offers a comprehensive deep dive into the wines of Spain. As with the French and Italian Wine Scholar programs, the course covers history and culture, as well as geography, geology, viticulture and wine-making by region, hitting most DOCs in each autonomous region of Spain. The material is engaging, and the book will be useful as a reference for years to come. Highly recommended!

No other program offers a complete and holistic understanding of the past, present, and future of Spanish Wine. The material is laid out in a very digestible manner, but also doubles as a resource to refer back to. I really enjoy that regions that aren't necessarily considered "need to know" at this point are marked as so, but still included to bring a complete picture of the wine landscape of Spain. Thank you to Rick Fisher and the WSG for bringing us such a dedicated program on Spanish Wines.

If Spanish wine is not on your radar, it should be! This fascinating culturally and historically diverse region is brought to life through detailed maps and beautiful pictures that illustrate the informative in-depth text. The manual is clearly laid out so as to make it readily understandable and remains as a quick reference guide and refresher. Rick Fisher and the team at WSG have done a magnificent job! Thank you! I have learned so much and I have already planned my next wine trip - northern Spain from Barcelona, along parts of the Camino to Santiago de Compostella! - Diccon W.

This course is extremely thorough but also fascinating in terms of the breadth of content. If you have any interest in Spain, Spanish culture, history and their wine make past and present, then this course is perfect. The maps are very clearly laid out and the photos and snippets of historical and cultural facts really bring it all to life.
