About the Immersion
Five days of lecture with daily exams culminate in a comprehensive final exam on the morning of the sixth day. The Viti-Vini Immersion follows the same curriculum as the 24-week Course. Students receive a reading list and sample quiz upon registration, with guidelines on where to focus their studies and how best to prepare before classes begin.
Lecture segments are broken down by region, paired with carefully selected wines that illustrate key educational points. The last half hour of each day is reserved for group questions and review of important topics. Students begin the mornings of Day 2 through 5 with a 30-minute quiz based on the readings and previous day’s lectures, which are graded and returned the same day. The final exam is cumulative and tests the students’ ability to synthesize their newly acquired knowledge. One afternoon will be dedicated to a class field trip to a local vineyard and winery.
Tuition includes a one-year membership to American Sommelier and a custom made glassware carrying kit including four Schott Zwiesel glasses.
