Le Level 2 Award in Wines est la certification WSET de niveau intermédiaire, qui approfondit la connaissance du vin. Dispensée sur trois jours à AIVA, l’Académie Internationale des Vins, elle couvre l’élaboration des styles de vins, les grandes régions viticoles, les cépages et les accords mets-vins, pour acquérir une base solide reconnue à l’international.
This nationally and internationally recognized training program is designed for beginner to intermediate profiles.
You will discover the development of different wine styles, the major wine regions, different types of grape varieties, classifications, labeling terms…
Following this training, you will have a solid foundation of knowledge about wines.
WSET courses are listed in the inventory of certifications of the National Commission for Professional Certification (CNCP). The International Wine Academy in Alsace is one of the few French centers to be an approved WSET program provider. If you wish to finance your WSET training through France Travail, the Region, or your company's OPCO (Skills Operator), please contact us.
There are no specific prerequisites to join this course. However, we recommend that you have a basic knowledge of wine.
La formation se déroule sur trois journées de 7 heures, sur le site d’AIVA à Landersheim en Alsace, ou sur le site de Terra Rhona à Tain-l’Hermitage dans la Drôme (satellite AIVA). Un format intensif et convivial, idéal pour découvrir le vin sans bloquer son agenda sur plusieurs semaines.
Around ten wines, specially selected for the training, are tasted throughout the day. Each tasting concretely illustrates the styles, grape varieties and analytical methods covered in class.
Each participant receives a WSET booklet: full details of the course, explanatory photos, vineyard maps, vocabulary and methodology, as well as blank pages for your tasting notes.
AIVA school premises are fully equipped to accommodate a person with a disability. Depending on the type of disability, we will implement the necessary measures and adapt our teaching conditions.
