GuildSomm Study Guides offer a broad, up-to-date overview of the beverage world. They present a deeper look at the world of wine than our Staff Trainings and provide a useful resource for sommeliers studying for advanced certification exams. The guides cover the world's essential wine and beverage styles, without necessarily aligning with any particular level of testing. For a more in-depth look, check out our Expert Guides.
A set of review questions is included below each guide.
These guides are regularly updated to keep pace with the ever-evolving world of wine, and therefore some information may appear at odds with printed, but dated, reference sources. We welcome any comments, questions, and corrections in the comments field below each guide.
