For its 29th edition, Vinitaly International Academy (VIA) makes its historical debut in Chicago, hosting its renowned three-day Italian wine-course in the country's third largest metropolis. This expansion provides Italian wine professionals across North America with unparalleled access to the expertise and opportunities offered by the prestigious VIA course.

Candidates will gather in Chicago to participate in two days of tastings and a series of in-depth seminars, focusing on Italy's most important wine-producing regions, as they prepare for the gruelling exam on day three to become certified Italian Wine Ambassadors.
