The Spanish Wine Scholar education program is the most advanced course in Spanish wine available in English. The program is endorsed by Wines from Spain (ICEX – Spain’s Trade & Investment Government Agency), in recognition of its exceptional level of depth, accuracy, detail, and academic rigor.

The course is divided into eight 2-hours lessons (plus a one-hour exam) and includes 4-6 wine tasting for every lesson.
