The Golden Vines® Wine Scholar Guild Scholarships

The Scholarships

The Golden Vines® Wine Scholar Guild Scholarships offer scholars the opportunity to undertake their choice of the WSG’s extensive courses specialising in some of the world’s most interesting wine regions. These allow winners to deepen their expertise as they continue their career progression. These Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the Taylor’s Port Golden Vines® Diversity Scholarship Judging Panel to outstanding applicants who the Judges feel are not yet ready for the Diversity Scholarships, but who they wish to recognise and aid on their educational path.

The Wine Scholar Guild

Founded in 2005, Wine Scholar Guild is the only wine education provider to focus solely on the wine regions of France, Italy and Spain, instilling a deep understanding of these wines, winemakers and their culture. Wine Scholar Guild offers immersive, region-specific wine education through online, in-person and study abroad certification programs. WSG certifications set the industry standard for up-to-date and in-depth information on the most influential wine regions of the world through three distinct levels of study: Essentials, Scholar and Masters. In addition to certification programs, WSG membership provides live online events and hundreds of hours of recorded content produced by the world’s leading authorities in wine.
