Italian Wine Scholar Unit 1, Northern Italy at Victoria and Vancouver, Two Cities, Same Dates.
The most advanced and comprehensive program specializing in Italy, the #1 wine exporting and producing country in the world.
As with French Wine Scholar, this is an advanced program of study on a par with the detail required for the WSET Diploma for Italy and beyond what is covered in WSET level 3. Due to the depth and complexity of Italian wines, the program has been split into two courses: Unit 1 and Unit 2. Following the successful launch of the program last year, we are excited to offer Unit 1, covering the North of Italy again. (N.B. the two units are discrete and there is no need to take unit 1 before unit 2.)
