Court of Master Sommeliers

Whether you’re a hospitality professional or a serious enthusiast inspired by the movie “Somm,” CMS credentials might be the next step in your wine education. CMS offers four levels of certification examination, from Introductory Sommelier through Master Sommelier. CMS examinations are known to be broad and rigorous, so having the right educational plan is essential. 

CMS’ published guidelines and required pre-exam courses are, on their own, not enough to pass any level of the CMS  exams. We can help you find the right educational path to supplement your independent study, regardless of the certification level you want to achieve. Expand your wine knowledge and enhance your tasting and service skills with in-depth, hands-on learning that is not available from any of the credentialing organizations.
