You’ll learn how to identify wine flavor groups, describe sensory characteristics, and evaluate how climate and terroir affect wine style. You’ll also build a basic framework for blind tasting practice.

It's more concept-first with guided practice. The course spends time explaining sensory physiology, wine styles, and pairing principles, then reinforces that through tasting exercises. It's a good fit if you want explanation and application together, not just a series of tastings.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
