Course Overview

The Expert Level

Level 3 is our most advanced stage — an expert-level study of prestige houses, grower producers and the finer points that separate a good glass from a great one.

You’ll examine the prestige cuvées, the philosophies of leading growers, disgorgement and ageing, and the art of service at the very highest standard.

This level is designed for serious professionals and dedicated enthusiasts who want the depth of knowledge that marks out a true specialist.
