sommelier associations

Sommelier associations are professional organizations that bring together trained wine experts—called sommeliers—who specialize in wine service, tasting, and pairing. These associations provide education, certification, networking opportunities, and industry standards to help members enhance their skills and maintain quality. They also promote wine culture, support sustainable practices, and often advocate for the profession. Membership benefits include access to resources, events, and industry updates, fostering a community committed to wine excellence and continuous learning.
