The FWS program is very educational and inspiring. The teachers are more than great and helpful in any ways. Even for me, who don´t have english as a motherlanguage, the program was perfect. I wouldn´t have it another way and I´m more than pleased with everything. I have learned more than I thought I would and I have more understanding about France and their winedistricts now.

This course contained a wealth of information but presents it in a way of answering the how’s and why’s of French wine. Overall I feel more confident knowing what to expect from a bottle coming from different regions and AOCs in France.

This was an exceptional program! I learned so much about French wines, terroir, and history. It is very challenging to remember all of the necessary information, but this was one of the best learning experiences I've ever had!

The French Wine Scholar is a perfect way to dive into the intricacies of French wine laws and styles. It gives a great overview of historical backgrounds for each region. It also opens windows on rarer grape varieties and wines that are rarely put under the spotlights, which is a great addition to this wine journey.

The approach to individual wine regions is from the ground up and holistic, rigorous yet intimate, all under the masterful tutelage of Ms. McLean and Ms. Airey.

Thank you to both!

The French Wine Scholar program was challenging but worth the hours of studying. I liked all of the different resources that were available as a student. The teachers were outstanding and broke down some complicated topics into manageable sections, that made studying easier. I'm looking forward to the next class!

Highly recommend! I truly feel like a scholar on the subject after completing this course. Being instructed by leaders in the industry was such an honor, and even the most challenging and complex regions in France were made understandable to me. Already eager to take another class through Wine Scholar Guild!

The FWS course did an excellent job of weaving together the history, geology, climate and the particulars of viticulture and winemaking for the various wine districts and did leave me with a good and basic understanding of wines of France. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable, responsive and attentive. The materials were extensive and plentiful, if a bit overwhelming.

The combination of instructor-led sessions, an excellent study manual and top-notch e-learning modules made this a great experience. My comprehension of wine articles and my confidence when selecting French wines have both improved enormously.

As someone who has sat multiple wine exams now, I believe the WSG content is the best that I have seen in the wine education world, especially with regards to their use of technology (for online modules, practice exams, flashcards) and multiple formats and styles of learning. Because of that, they help you learn more deeply no matter what your learning style is. They're also simply more interesting to study and the information is more current and relevant.

The overall Experience was great from administration answering questions to instructors explaining very clearly.
I enjoyed it even though it was a lot of information and for me about 7 months of study time.

Although I have already obtained a WSET Dioloma, I was keen to “deep dive” into French wine history and culture, plus fill in gaps that aren’t part of the WSET diploma syllabus. The course delivered on all these objectives and more. The materials are excellently laid out and the teaching was engaging and knowledgeable. What really stood out for me was the online teaching and revision materials, videos, flashcards and quizzes that made exam preparation straightforward. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in understanding the breadth of French wine.

I highly recommend the FWS course.
As a long time wine lover, I have often been intimdated by French wine. Not any more! The FWS has provided a comprehesive understanding of French wine and terrior. Lisa and Sharon share their incredible knowledge in a fun classroom atmosphere. The manual is a phenomenal reference, and the online learning tools, especially the videos make it all work.

Great way to learn about French wines and geography even if you visited the country 20 times! Discover grape varieties you never heard about through videos, live sessions and a great book. I totally recommand this program with WSG.

The program was excellent with a harmonious balance of historical context, growing environment, winemaking practices, and of course the wines themselves. In particular, I think the FWS has a focus on delivering materials that enhance the student's success in understanding and appreciation of all that the wines of France have to offer.

The French Wine Scholar program provides an in-depth exploration of every wine region in France. It is an invaluable aid in grasping the nuances of the different regions, their soil, geography and other environmental influences, going far being the grape and viticulture. It is very detailed, however, and not for the faint of heart, but more geared to the serious wine student. Clearly, even without taking the exam, one's knowledge of the French wine regions will be boosted by the course.

I am a 68 year old cardiothoracic surgeon in San Diego who has no connection with the wine industry. Nonetheless, I find the viniculture, viticulture, history, and personalities fascinating. I took and passed WSET 2 and 3 but knew what i really wanted to understand was more about the French wine history and culture. I have no idea if I passed but no matter, I learned a lot and an am grateful for the experience. The online tutors are terrific and the study materials very accessible and concise. Thanks for a well designed and crafted learning experience. J Tyner
