WINE T RAINING
There are several wine courses available that are both educative and entertaining
but if you wish to have records of your knowledge in wine and have an internationally
recognized qualification, the WSET ® courses is the only option.
The Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET ® ) was founded in the UK in 1969 to
provide high quality education and training in wines and spirits. Since then, WSET ® has
grown into the foremost international body in the field of wines and spirits education,
with a suite of sought-after qualifications. Although based in London, there are over
600 centers in 60 countries that provide the qualifications and Riviera Wine was the
first one on the Riviera to become an Approved Program Provider.
