Welcome to Episode 2533 of the Italian Wine Podcast. This is a bonus episode where the Italian Wine Academy educators, Gill Gordon-Smith IWE and Cynthia Chaplin IWA, break down the program from the inside.

Together they share how the course was born:  from a book that looked more like a journal, to a podcast series where IWA talked about their favorite Italian grapes, finally evolving, after more than a year of work, into a full educational program put together by Gill and Cynthia.

More about the Course:  
The Italian Grape Geek program teaches Italian wine knowledge and tasting skills through two levels. The course is divided into two parts. Level 1 is completely online, allowing you to study anytime and anywhere. For those who want the full experience, Level 2 offers in-person lectures and guided tastings led by specialized educators around the world. Developed by Italian wine specialists, the course, along with its companion podcast series, aims to make Italian wine more accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for all enthusiasts.
