I have been active in the hospitality industry for eighteen years. Since 2012, I have been the co owner of Villa Incognito restaurant in Tripolis, Greece, where I promote local gastronomy while offering high quality, meaningful hospitality experiences. In 2015, driven by a deep commitment to expand my knowledge of wine\u2014its cultural heritage, history, and unique ability to connect people\u2014I commenced formal studies in sommelier training. My education at WSPC, under the mentorship of Konstantinos Lazarakis MW and his team, provided me with a strong professional foundation. Achieving the WSET Diploma was a defining milestone in my career, inspiring me to create educational materials, publish articles, deliver seminars, and actively contribute to the growth of wine tourism in my region. I have curated wine lists, organized tastings, and led masterclasses focused on Greek indigenous varieties, especially Moschofilero. At the same time, I am developing an integrated hospitality project through a guesthouse themed around food and wine. My aspiration is to continue advancing Greek wine culture and to inspire through education and authentic hospitality.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

My experience in WSPC started back in 2015 with WSET Level 1, where I had my first encounter with the world of wine.

This led me to the final level of the Diploma, tasting wines from all over the world, learning about the corresponding viticultural and winemaking techniques and how to link them directly to the result. As a new winemaker, I carry this achievement throughout my professional life!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 2014, following a recommendation by some professionals in the wine industry, I began my studies in WSPC, attending the WSET Level 1; at this point I couldn't begin to imagine how long and special this journey would turn out. The excellent structure of the school's curriculum, the imparting of knowledge on every aspect of wine, the familiarisation with all the wine regions of the world combined with the high level and the ethos of tutors encouraged me to continue studying, advancing to higher levels with an increasing momentum. So, in 2017, and while being professionally active in a totally different industry, I found myself in Santorini, kicking off the fascinating path of WSET Diploma. It is an uncommon, demanding, but above all an exciting journey that I managed to successfully accomplish by obtaining the much-coveted qualification in 2019. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The well-structured, rigorous education and the charm of the teaching staff motivated me to go as far as WSET Level 3 and WSPC HESTIA Advanced Certificate and I am now seriously thinking of attempting the WSET Diploma. My job is not related to wine but to printings of refrigerator food labels and content production for various sectors. However, wine is an important part of my life and in the upcoming period I will expand my professional activities in this sector. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I began my studies in wine and spirits at WSPC where I attended Levels 1,2,3 in wines, HESTIA Certificate and Spirits. In 2017, I embarked on WSET DIPLOMA and I will never forget the top level of education and teaching. A very important part for me is the Pan-Hellenic Association of Sommeliers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Knowing that WSET is the top school for studies in wine, in 2016 I began my studies at WSPC Wine & Spirit Professional Center. The school\u2019s excellent organization, the highly trained tutors, the very well-structured curriculum per level of qualification offering a thorough education and the school\u2019s new premises were my incentive and inspiration to fervently complete, notwithstanding the challenges, the first three WSET L1-L2-L3 and the L3 HESTIA Certificate. And although my career, for many years now, is in stark contrast to the world of wine, as I am a mechanical engineer, the world of wine cast its spell on me and I am now attending at the WSPC, the WSET Diploma, the most challenging, albeit fascinating, wine journey.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Through WSPC, the best organization in the wine industry, both in Greece and abroad, I met wonderful people with dedication and love for wine. A team of professionals ready to teach students everything about wine. Acquiring WSPC Level 4, the WSET Diploma, I expect to complete this journey having in parallel started the Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS Europe), a program with a hospitality-oriented focus. All these studies combined with my working experience in wine restaurants and in Michelin-star rated restaurants led me to the \u2018wine paradise\u2019 where I am currently working, the Private Members Club 67 PallMall in London.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It was back in 2015 when I became a student at WSPC. I didn\u2019t have to think it twice, the wine training offered by the school is excellent. First and foremost, the school offers wine education and behaviour! Students acquire critical thinking. Not only are we taught by top level tutors to describe, judge, and score a wine but also to respect wine, its culture, the land, the winemaker and the vine grower. I would like to personally thank WSPC, Mr. Konstantinos Lazarakis and first and foremost my mentor, Mr. Yiannis Koulelis who taught me how to love wine and broaden my wine horizons daily; to long for learning, to constantly discover why this journey in the world of wine is endless!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

WSPC provides non-job specific education and resembles the methods and learning techniques used in the academic market for those studying at MBA studies level. It is geared towards wine producers, oenologists, Sommeliers, Bartenders, Baristas, Wholesalers, Retailers, business Professionals within the trade as well as Individuals \/ Wine lovers. WSPC Students, at the higher levels of studies \u2013 Advanced Certificate \/ Level 3 & Diploma \/ Level 4, acquire commercially relevant abilities to analyse and evaluate the quality-price ratio and the ability to investigative and understand the market and its structure. These abilities are important in all middle and senior management professionals such as Import Managers, Export Managers, Group Product Managers, Brand Managers, Sales Managers, F & B Managers, Winemakers and Chief Sommeliers.<\/p>\n

One could say that the evaluation of a quality-price ratio is an common criteria for consumers as well.

    The higher levels of studies, such as the Wine Scholar Guild the students are taught in Greek, but the exams are in English (multiple choice questions).<\/p>\n

    Taking the exam in English is an option at all levels (Levels 1-3). WSPC recommends that students sit the exam in English as early as level 1, firstly because the Greek market is inextricably linked to tourism. Secondly because a professional career may lead to the field of exports, and thirdly so students are familiarized with the English language from early on as the WSET Diploma \u2013 which is the pinnacle of the educational programmes \u2013 is only taught in English.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

In this case, we transfer the student\u2019s attendance information (ie: student code number, passing grade etc.) to the corresponding Approved Program Provider (APP) abroad. Please note that the most important thing is for the student to speak the native language of the country where the Centre is located.<\/p>\n

    Of course, the opposite is also possible. A student planning to be repatriated can continue his\/her studies following the previous Level of Studies which he\/she has successfully graduated in another country.

What is most important however is that all certifications and all organizations affiliated with WSPC are recognized Internationally and also by the Greek market.<\/p>\n

    It is imperative that interprofessional education identifies with the real market \u2013 that the tutors are the professionals of the present and our graduates are the professionals of the future.<\/p>\n

    Even from the earliest years of WSPC\u2019s operation, bright names and personalities in the field have honoured our classrooms.

    WSG has English textbooks and a plethora of interactive educational techniques online that aid students in comprehending the subject matter and requirements as well in the successful completion of the exams. In addition, the textbook of each country is also provided in e-book form.<\/p>\n

    The practical-tasting part of the course, of all organizations, is covered by an excess number of wines and labels and\/or an excess of educational hours and practical training in all educational unites in comparison to not only the Greek market but the International market as well. All course and\/or practical training samples are in full accordance with the syllabus indicated by the WSET for each level of studies.<\/p>\n

    Attendance and successful graduation of each level of study is completed through examinations which each student is required to attend and pass so as to be considered a graduate and to continue his\/her studies to the next Level of Study.<\/p>\n

    Just as the Structure \/ Syllabus of the educational programmes are set by England and the USA, so are the examinations fully controlled by our affiliated parent organization.

    Individuals \/ Wine lovers<\/strong>: Individuals \u2013 Wine-lovers \u2013 simple consumers can comfortably attend up to WSPC Level 2 of studies. Upon conclusion they will have covered the knowledge of the basics of world wines varieties as well as of the correct wine and food matching.

They will feel more able to choose for themselves \u201clabels\u201d from restaurant wine-lists and can easily navigate a cellar in search of a suitable wine to accompany their meal at home.<\/p>\n

    It is worth mentioning here that the all the individuals \/ Wine-lovers who have attended Level 3 of studies (WSET Advanced Certificate) have almost always graduated successfully.
