Rioja Diploma

For 150 years Rioja has led the way in bringing the wines of Spain to global attention, and it has a history of quality winemaking unlike any other part of Spain. But this is not a region which is resting on its laurels - grapegrowers and winemakers are innovating here like nowhere else to bring Spain's great wine region up-to-date, and winedrinkers are the ones benefitting! Come discover the whole story of Rioja.

An exciting new accredited course, a must-do for lovers of Spanish wine, a chance to dive deeper into the fascinating region of Rioja! Enjoy a superb range of wines, tasted in a classroom environment and complemented with e-learning resources.  

After Laura's study programme to become an official Certified Educator for the Rioja Consejo in 2022/23, we are excited to share the fruits of the labour!

This exclusive course has been designed to enhance the existing Rioja Diploma course, which is entirely self study. As a student of the Wine School you will have access to exactly the same online resources, but you will also benefit from 10 hours of classroom time further explaining the extensive theory material, plus tutored tasting of 15 - 17 wines a day, bringing to life the range of grapes, styles and terroir which Rioja boasts. 

We are hard at work curating the wines for this course, aided by the Rioja Consejo (the authority who oversee the regulation of this region), who are supporting us to help create the best and most comprehensive journey through the region.
