WSG is an international provider of wine education programs focusing on the wines and wine regions of France, Italy, and Spain. We currently offer the French Wine Scholar (FWS) program, an experience where lesser known regions share the stage with world-famous regions. The course is of interest both to French wine lovers and to those considering the Professional Sommelier Program. The Italian Wine Scholar (IWS) program at WDCM™ is split into two modules; Northern and Southern Italy.
CAPS Professional Sommelier Program
The celebrated Sommelier Diploma is an achievement that recognizes advanced wine, spirits, beer and beverage knowledge, professional hospitality management, and the highest standards of service. Our program is accredited in Canada through the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers (CAPS) and recognized in all 50 countries of the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale (ASI).
The WDCM™ also offers a WDCM Sommelier Certificate. The Sommelier Certificate program is a full-day workshop followed by a half-day exam. Successful completion of the exam will earn you a Sommelier certificate that recognizes you as a dedicated hospitality professional with a high standard of service, theory and blind tasting. This is also grounding for the Professional Sommelier Diploma.
Introductory Wine & Drinks Classes (NO EXAMS)
Courses for those interested in pursuing their love of wine without writing exams:
Essentials of Wine
Over two evenings, learn to taste, explore your palate, and assess the price versus quality of wine. No prior experience needed.
Essentials 2
With our engaging instructors, you can take your knowledge of wine to the next level. Over two evenings, explore classic and new wines in the context of grape varieties, where they are from (regions and climate), and how they are made. It is helpful to have taken the first level of Essentials of Wine, but prior experience is not required.
CUSTOM EDUCATIONAL EVENTS
At WDCM™, we can also custom design a day, evening or afternoon session for your group, team-building event or small conference. While we can tailor an event to your group, some of our most sought-after activities include wine games and competitions, wine and cheese sessions, and targeted classic and emerging wine region tastings.
