French Wine Scholar Course - English (October - December 2025)

The French Wine Scholar In-Person Course, 100% in English, is designed for wine enthusiasts and trade professionals seeking expertise in French wines. Taught by a Master of Wine Candidate, Certified Sommelier, and WSET Level 4 Diploma graduate, the program covers major French wine regions like Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, and others, presenting each area within its cultural context. Participants will taste at least 36 wines during the course and receive the official 330-page study manual. The course spans six 3.5-hour sessions and concludes with an in-person examination at the Zürich Wine Academy. Successful candidates earn the digital French Wine Scholar certification and a lapel pin. The program is ideal for intermediate and advanced students, and requires additional self-study outside of the classroom.
