Rioja Wine Diploma

Online course
Description

Description

Welcome to this 100% online, open and free course. This concise and intensive course covers what a future Rioja wines expert needs to know: their territory, grape varietals, the human element, the styles of wine that are created, the classifications of Rioja wines, regulations on viticulture and aspects to do with production, gastronomy and history. Course participants will learn about the flavour and characteristics of the wines and how some of them are developed over time. We will be talking about modern styles and more traditional approaches, as well as the recent trend to official recognition of the territory.

We will suggest various wines that illustrate the course contents and will bring you even closer to our unique interpretation of viticulture and oenology.

When you complete the course, you have a sound knowledge of Rioja and you will understand its position among the world's great wines.

Estimated duration: 15 hrs.

Assessment: At the end of each module there will be a set of review questions relating to the content. To progress to the next modules, you will need to answer 100% of the questions correctly and you will have a limited number of attempts.

At the end of the course you will take the final exam. This will consist of 30 questions, which you will have to answer within a time limit of 30 minutes. To be awarded the Rioja Wine Diploma, you must answer at least 75% of the questions correctly.

You have a maximum of 2 attempts to pass your exam, but if you fail, RWA will launch a new call every three months - with two other opportunities - of which you will be informed in advance so that you can take the exam again and obtain the certificate.

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.

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.

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?).

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.

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!

A very well done course. It would be helpful to suggest up front that taking notes is important in order to facilitate review and passing the exam.

It was a great way to learn more about Rioja and also didactically very well put together. The sections were well structured. It would have been great to have the food photos named in Spanish with English translation.

Learnt to much by taking the Rioja Wine Diploma, and has further increased my love of Rioja Wine. The standards the growers and wine makers have to achieve make Rioja wines so prestigious
