Who this course is for
WSET Level 3 is ideal for wine professionals, hospitality staff, importers, salespeople and dedicated wine enthusiasts seeking advanced knowledge. It builds on the concepts introduced in Level 2 and takes your tasting, analytical and theoretical skills to a significantly higher level. If you work with wine or want to understand global styles in depth, this is the course that brings everything together.
