DISCOVER THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR SENSES WITH ONAV

National Organization of Wine Tasters, which launches the new course calendar , starting in September throughout the country. Enthusiasts, the curious, and industry professionals will thus be able to approach the fascinating world of wine tasting and discover how to evaluate the product in the most objective way possible without being influenced by prejudices. The ONAV technique, in fact, is based on the concept of "tasting" , or learning to use your senses by focusing on what they send back to you , trying to be influenced as little as possible by your personal and cultural conditioning, with maximum openness. A particularly interesting approach today, in an increasingly multifaceted and multifaceted world of wine.

ONAV courses are open to everyone. The first level, divided into 17 lessons , offers a training experience that combines theory and practice . Through the various lessons, you learn notions of viticulture and oenology thanks to expert teachers, you learn to taste wine by applying a precise method and improving your evaluation skills and, finally, you experience life in the cellar first-hand thanks to visits to the company.

But there is more. At the end of the course, the Taster License is issued and the registration in the National Register of Wine Tasters is carried out.

The courses are divided into three levels. The 1st level Wine Taster courses allow the achievement of the “Wine Taster” License , the 2nd level Wine Taster courses end with the achievement of the “Expert Wine Taster” License. While the 3rd level SUMAV course, University School of Master Wine Tasters , gives the right to the title of Master Taster.
