SWA Wine Courses: Modular Training and Certifications
SWA Courses
Our wine courses
Discover the world of wine at your own pace. Courses created by people who have been making wine for generations, offering the depth and detail that only hands-on experience can provide.
A journey through the world of wine
SWA courses are designed for modular learning, allowing you to build your knowledge step by step in a structured way that is tailored to your needs.
We explore topics in depth - from Portuguese wines, types of wines and trends to major world regions - with the detail and context that comes from those working in the vineyards, wineries and production. Here, you will learn from instructors who personalise and adapt each session. Interaction is flexible with greater proximity, because we know that every group is unique.
In addition, there is the advantage of consolidating knowledge that can serve as the perfect foundation for a WSET certification.
Your journey in the world of wine
At the Sogrape Wine Academy, your learning journey is organized into two main formats: a progressive path of levels for an in-depth understanding of the world of wine, and thematic courses to explore passions and specific areas of interest. Find the perfect training for you.
