The Level 3 Hybrid course is composed by 15 theory sessions held online + 3 tasting sessions in the classrooms. The content is exactly the same as the classroom course, but it offers the comfort of following most of the lessons online.
The exam will be in the classroom at the end of the course.
The WSET Level 3 Award in Wines is designed to give a thorough understanding of the factors that account for the style, quality and price of the principal still, sparkling and fortified wines of the world. The qualification will assist those who are required to make professional evaluations of wines with regards to their style, quality and price.
The qualification provides the in-depth product knowledge required to underpin job skills and competencies, for example in product selection in the retail and hospitality sectors.
Successful candidates will be able to describe the characteristics of the principal wines of the world and give information on the key factors influencing style, quality and price. They will consequently be in a position to advise management, to answer customer queries authoritatively, and to make informed selections of wines in a variety of situations.

【特別講座】2/4（火） リースリングは忠実に”テロワール”を反映するブドウ品種のと言われています。当講座では、テロワールの違いがスタイルに分かりやすく影響する高品質なリースリングをブラインドテイスティングすることで、その違いをロジカルに見極め説明できるようにする事を目的にしています。ワインの資格を勉強している方や愛好家の皆様、是非ご参加ください。
【特別講座】11/31（金）19：00～20：30 主に２０２０年に植栽を行った樹も本年で３回目の収穫を終え、徐々に道南（北斗市文月）でのブドウ栽培とワイン醸造につきましてわかってきたことも蓄積されてきました。そこで実際に自社畑でできたワインのテイスティングも交えつつ現時点での気づきや課題をお伝えできればと考えております。
【特別講座】12/18（水）19：00～21：00 日本最高峰のピノノワールやシャルドネを作るKISVINワイン栽培長が棚栽培がなぜ適しているのか、その秘密に迫ります。
【特別講座】8/27（火）・3/12（金）19：00～20：30 前回大好評を収めた大橋MWのテイスティング・マスタークラス。今回のテーマとなるのはYamanashi wine masterclass - learning from viewpoint of terroir - 。
【特別講座】11/28（木）19：00～20：30 中国全土を4年かけて探した結果、最高峰の赤ワインを造るための理想的なテロワールが雲南省北部で発見された。メコン川のほとりとヒマラヤ山脈のふもとに位置するこの地域は、伝説の都市シャングリラの近くにある隠れた楽園だ。アドン、シダン、シノン、シュオリの村にあるアオ・ユンのブドウ畑は、標高2,200～2,600mに位置し、カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンがこのユニークなテロワールの洗練さを十分に表現できるようになっている。地元の農家は何世紀にもわたってこの土地を耕し、急峻な山腹に巧みに農法を適応させてきた。
WSET Level 2修了者でワインをさらに探究したい方や、同等の知識・テイスティング能力をお持ちの方を対象としたコースです。今期は4年ぶりにカリキュラムが一新され、基本的な知識的は動画で事前学習し、授業では環境や品種、栽培醸造方法の違いがもたらすワインのスタイルや品質評価について「なぜその結論になったのか？」を理論的に導き出していきます。正解を覚えるのではなく、知識とテイスティングをリンクさせ、考える力を磨いていきます。本質を見分ける力をつけ、グローバルなワインの「今」を知る講座です。
