The Worldwide Sommelier Association (WSA) is an association that unites sommeliers around the world. The association is recognized in 32 countries, including Europe, North and South Americas, Asia and Australia.

The main goal of WSA is to promote the culture of good wine and food along with the promotion of their territories, by means of in-depth training and thematic events supported by first class didactic aids.

Fostering and organizing worldwide thematic events also contribute to creating a cultural and market awareness to showcase the best of these unique products to the international marketplace. Not just wine, but also Olive Oil, Beer and typical regional food products!

The second activity of the Worldwide Sommelier Association are the professional qualification courses.

Every year thousands of people become highly qualified experts, requiring top-class wine events accordingly. Hence, the diffusion of this training approach is vital towards the improvement of skills among the professionals. That’s why WSA made public its teaching methods and qualified trainers to offer the best in sommelier instruction available anywhere.

The highly experienced and renown tutors are readily available to share their professional insight and experience with anyone who wishes to participate in the projects and courses.

In order to improve the overall training of professionals, several competitions will be planned on a year basis, including Best World Sommelier.
