Vinitaly International Academy Italian Wine Ambassador Certification Course is back in New York March 1-2, 2025 with a brand new format, hosted for the second year in a row by Banville Wine Merchants, 126 E 38th St, New York. Applications are now open. Space is limited, so apply today here. 

The course provides a deep dive into the kaleidoscopic panorama of Italian wines during an intense day filled with lectures and wine tastings led by VIA Faculty member Sarah Heller MW. Previously, satellite courses were spread across two half-day classroom sessions, with the exam and the pinning ceremony taking place on day three.
