WiSP: The Wine & Spirits Place to Be for Over 10 Years!

Let's mobilise to ensure industry professionals continue to grow and innovate, thus bringing the future generation on board.

Convinced that transmitting knowledge and know-how to as many people as possible is an absolute necessity for developing wines and spirits culture, our mission is to distil and share our knowledge and expertise with industry professionals. 

 

To guarantee the employability and adaptability of all wine and spirits professionals, we provide certification or tailor-made training courses that consider the field’s needs and the diversity of each individual. 

 

Because we believe experiential learning is more effective, our training courses, activities and content combine theory and immersive participative experiences. 

As innovative and open-minded educators, we cultivate a taste for sharing, transmitting and learning by involving all stakeholders. 

 

Guided by common values of high standards, integrity and enthusiasm, we are part of a dynamic conducive to learning while respecting the requirements of the certifications provided.
