The ISGM program represents the highest level of academic and professional education within the ISG system. Designed for individuals pursuing advanced leadership, academic depth, and multidisciplinary competence, ISGM integrates enology, wine business management, nutrition, and advanced sommellerie into a single, cohesive program.
Structured as a 90-week course totaling 1,817 instructional hours (192 days), ISGM delivers a breadth and depth of education that extends beyond traditional hospitality training, preparing graduates for senior professional, managerial, and academic pathways within the global wine and hospitality industry.
ISGM is the natural continuation of the Sommelier Diploma Program (SDP). Where the SDP develops senior-level sommelier and beverage-leadership competence, ISGM expands the academic scope into enology (wine production science), wine business management (strategy and operations), and nutrition — disciplines that take graduates beyond the floor and into wine production, education, and executive roles.
ISGM is structured as a comprehensive multidisciplinary program combining scientific, managerial, and applied professional studies.
Online hybrid learning is delivered without time limitations, allowing candidates to progress at an appropriate pace while receiving academic guidance from a dedicated instructional team.
The program equips graduates with advanced professional competencies and applied knowledge appropriate to leadership roles within wine production, hospitality management, education, and related sectors.
ISGM delivers advanced instruction across multiple disciplines, integrating theory, application, and professional context.

All instruction is delivered by experienced educators and industry professionals.

To maintain assessment integrity and academic fairness, candidates are expected to rely exclusively on official ISG learning materials.
The ISGM program consists of 202 instructional sessions totaling 1,817 clock hours, delivered online or in a classroom format.
