This 10 week course is designed to give you everything you need to become a working sommelier and prep for your exams

Becoming a sommelier takes more than dedication, it takes a community. Having a support system is how we grow in the wine world, and the most successful sommeliers work together to be their best. We have created a live, digital mentorship experience designed to create a community of sommelier exam candidates and provide sessions on how to prepare for service, tasting, and theory exams. Students will attend a series of webinars and online tutoring sessions designed to deepen their understanding of how to manage wine programs, wine service execution, deductive tasting techniques, and the depth and level of wine theory needed to be a successful floor sommelier. If you plan to sit for wine exams, join us for a ten-week preparation cohort where you will get real-time instruction and meet other candidates to study and prepare with. The course includes:

  • Two live sessions each week covering a wide array of topics

  • Personalized Study Plan

  • Optional 12 Testable Wines, hand picked from Master the World

  • Three Live Blind Tasting Sessions-Two as a Group and One Private Session

  • Live Service Demonstrations

  • A Seminar on the Business of Wine

  • 300 Pages of Study Guides

  • Weekly Reviews and Quizzes

  • Office Hours for Any Additional Assistance
