Rioja Wine Academy / Rioja Wine Diploma Testimonial : The Academy positions the new face of Rioja skilfully and logically in an informative, up-to-date rendition of past to present day history, evolving developments and current stats elevating this bespoke Rioja course from elementary to educational. The content is rich, visuals engaging and video clips relevant. Do not hasten to take the exam immediately. The 30 minute , 30 question format of the final quiz is not as easy as it sounds. Whilst the questions might not at first glance appear challenging read through the options carefully, there could be multiple answers. There are no trick questions. if you absorb all the course contents carefully you will surely pass. Good luck and enjoy your cyber learning during these challenging times.

One of the best online wine course available now.Very well planned designed with lots of picture and video demonstration.Its 15 hours timing but I would recommend study well before attempting the exam some questions are very tricky n have more than one answer .So please read every single words in the study materials.Thanks once again Rioja Wine Academy for this beautiful informative course.In the end when you will get the certificate its really worth it.

Nancy Reinertz-Sjoblom

hace 4 años, 24 jun 2020 11:18

A very good course. It helped me on basic winemaking topics (soil, grapes, climate etc.) and helped me in preparations for my WSET 3 rd level exam. One of the greatest tips was the website www.greatwinecapitals.com which I will use to plan my trip to the Rioja region. The exam was really difficult, I thought. Multiple answers to multiple choice questions were tricky.

Kevin Archer

hace 4 años, 24 jun 2020 11:55

A very informative and interesting course. I thought I had a good knowledge of the area but have learnt a lot. I would go over all the modules again once you have finished to refresh your memory as the exam is quite challenging.

Eric Mcallister

hace 3 años, 30 ene 2022 1:52

I think it should be possible to review any of the units more than once, before being required to take the final exam; or else, make it very clear that one should take good notes from which to study. While the course is very interesting and comprehensive, a few of the quiz questions are quite unnecessarily highly specific (does it really matter if the DOC involves exactly 144 municipalities, rather than just >100?).

Angelo Margheriti

hace 3 años, 30 ene 2022 23:57

James Viner

hace 3 años, 1 feb 2022 14:10

Ace+ Unlike me, you’ll have to be Speedy Gonzales-like in the final exam & ready to select multiple options (not just one) to answer correctly. The end-of-section practice questions can be revisited as many times as you like but really aren’t that useful for the final exam. Clay-limestone soils are a 'thing' in Rioja Alavesa! Salud.

Evgenii Nurminskii

hace 3 años, 2 feb 2022 0:17

highly recommend to get through the major topics once more before passing the exam - I have also taken notes about specific figures to not forget them fast. Overall great course, and I was pleaseed with amount of aditional information about the region and culture. Thanks!

The information I found in this study is extremely usefull for representing Rioja wines perfectly to consumers. All modules are structured very well and the key sentences are marked in bold. However it would be great if the statistics of sales, wineries and all the numbers in percentage would be updated on the regular bases. Big thanks to creators of this study programm. It is very helpfull for preparing to certification and teaching in Sommelier schools!

Very thorough and comprehensive course. Do not think all material in exam was covered exactly on the course, but may be partly due to some videos not being translated meaning I did not pick up the information.

I loved this course although being a lazy student I gave the materials a quick read and tried the test. Bad idea! you need to real the course materials carefully, take concise notes and study! The wording of many of the questions requires sound knowledge of the material. So now I have a much better understanding of the Rioja region, the differences in the sub regions and a greater appreciation of the rules and regulations governing the creation of quality Rioja wines.

A Fantastic, in-depth course. Very helpful for someone in the wine trade. Having taken this course before travelling to Rioja, I found it super helpful when visiting the vineyards/wineries!

I greatly enjoyed the course and it succeeds in doing what it sets out to do, namely increase your knowledge of Rioja wines. If I were to offer any constructive critcisim, it would be to make sure the test questions both for the chapters and the final exam focus on testing your overall understanding rather than just remembering numbers or factoids. Some questions are also open to interpretation or multiple correct answers even though only one answer is approved. Just as an example, there is a question about where the tomb of St. James was found. Both Galicia and Santiago de Compostela would be correct answers, and the question doesn't pertain to your understanding of Rioja wine.

An informative learning based not only on the wine production itself, but also the economy, gastronomy and specific features of the region. The course design is well-structured. I will definitely continue my studies on this region.

I learned so much while I took this course, the test was difficult even though I had studied and taken lots of notes. I can say it was definitely worth it though!

I like how in depth this certification was. Though my progress was restarted twice, once after I had already passed the test, I enjoyed reviewing and learning the info. I did struggle at times with the grammar, as some information did not translate well (some videos and photos were not translated at all), as well as the conflicting information the text had, but overall I had a positive experience.

I enjoyed this course so much. Not only it was very informative as for the wines of Rioja wine region, but it broadened my knowledge on many wine-related aspects. It would be quite helpful if in the block relating Wine tasting there was a list of wines to taste (some iconic, or emblematic, as well as some popular wines on the domestic and export markets)in order to get an impression on the hierarchy of wines according to their origin and to their ageing. Just a list.
