WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines: Semester One
How do you piece together the world of wine – its regions, decision, pressures and possibilities – into real expertise? The WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines pushes you to think bigger, taste smarter and connect every detail, building industry-recognised mastery with global relevance.
Building on the knowledge and skills gained from the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines, the Diploma deepens your understanding of how and why wine production and business factors influence the style, quality, and price of wines. Your expertise is built both theoretically, through comprehensive study of a large number of wine regions, and practically, by developing your wine tasting skills to an expert level.
Successful graduates acquire exceptional analytical skills and proficiency in evaluative wine tasting, gaining global recognition as authoritative wine specialists. Should you wish to progress to the Master of Wine programme, you will be well-prepared.
You can join us at our central London location for training in-person, or for online classes – whatever suits you.
