Certified Sommelier Course

The Certified Sommelier Course is constructed around an certified version of the AIS (Italian Sommelier Association) curriculum, and reputed as the best Sommelier program in the world thanks to about 50 years of professional experience and development. Strength points of this curriculum AIS’s unique and patented ‘technical tasting method‘, their highest standard of service instruction and the globally acclaimed and patented ‘technical pairing methodology‘, for which the AIS curriculum is famous.

The certificate Course “Sommelier” requires no previous professional wine experience. It is an incredible opportunity for people passionate about the glorious world of wine and to those whose familiarity lacks true breadth.
