This advanced course is recommended for those students who want to capitalise on their deep, comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge in their profession or their private lives, by exploring the map of the entire wine world.
The target audience of the WSET® Level 3 Award in Wines course are those wine lovers who would like to gain detailed information on viticulture and winemaking themes as well as the world’s wine regions and grape varieties. After the course, students will be able to accurately assess wines and, using their acquired knowledge, also confidently explain the style and quality of the wine.
The multi-day course is followed by an exam. Candidates who achieve success in this exam will receive a WSET certificate and pin.
