WSG Courses

Wine Scholar Guild offers in-person and online courses that allow students to specialize (in a specific country or region(s)). WSG's certification programs are the industry standard and provide the most accurate and in-depth information on the wines of France, Italy, Spain and Germany. Wine Scholar Guild wine certification programs supplement and complement the study programs offered by WSET and CMS rather than replace them.

A core part of their educational philosophy is providing our students with ALL the study materials they need to succeed. Their innovative and multi-faceted approach inspires our students:
The wine study manuals are current, concise, and objective - without being encyclopedic
There are many online resources, including downloadable documents, wine education videos, wine e-learning modules, online wine quizzes, and discussion forums

Anyone can apply these learning tools to other curriculums, particularly those that place a greater emphasis on self-directed, independent study. 

Wine Scholar Guild is the only provider to focus solely on the most celebrated wine regions of the world, instilling a deep understanding of wine, winemakers and their culture.

Wine Scholar Guild's student alumni network is now more than 10,000 strong. That's more than 10,000 global graduates officially certified by WSG. Wine Scholar Guild partners with over 130 Approved Program Providers in 35 countries worldwide including Edinburgh Local Wine School.

We are currently able to offer the French Courses. Italy coming end of 2026!
