WSET Level 3 Certification

In this next-level course, your palate will dramatically transform (and you likely not even recognize it). Expect to become the smartest wine person in your social circle as many will seek your wine advice recognizing that you actually know what you're talking about.  As a result, you very likely could change your daily wine preferences completely as your palate expands.

This level is where you gain palate proficiency by learning to answer the question "so what?" Our approach to teaching level 3 is to get you thinking about "the why" and "the how" not just "the what."  Great, so you can list soils or rivers in a region.  So what? How does that impact the quality, style, price of the wines from that region?  We teach you to connect the theoretical aspect of wine to the glass. How does the climate in Burgundy affect the winemaking? How is this different in California, for example? How do you taste that? It is this level where you will learn the art of blind tasting and gain proficiency in determining the quality, current age, and future age potential of a wine. You will walk away with an advanced level palate and a solid tasting perspective over different wine-making techniques in addition to the main grapes and wine regions around the world. 

Finally, the Level 3 exam that you'll be preparing for contains 2 parts. Part 1 is a theory exam of 50 multiple choice questions + 4 short-answer questions. Part 2 is a blind tasting exam of 2 wines.

So, what are you waiting for?  Let's go!
