About WSET Level 2 Award In Wines
“I officially began my wine education in the summer of 2005 in London with WSET Level 2. Shortly after, I completed WSET Level 3 Award Wine & Spirits with Distinction. In 2015, I also became an educator for this program. It’s a foundational course, yet it manages to cover some of the most important topics in the world of wine. If you have a passion for wine and are willing to put in the work, this program is highly rewarding and enjoyable. It helps you discover your passion and motivates you to advance to the next level and visit world wine regions after your studies. One of the most memorable aspects of Wine Via Academy’s in person WSET Level 2 course is the opportunity to taste a wide range of wines ( 43) over a four-week period, as recommended by WSET, making the learning experience both impactful and unforgettable”
