I had a great learning experience with Sonal holland Academy. The lectures were well-structured, clear, and easy to understand, even for someone new to the subject. The trainers explained concepts in a very practical way, which made exam preparation much easier and more confident. The exam guidance was excellent, with proper focus on key topics and sample questions that really helped in understanding the WSET exam pattern. The alcohol tasting sessions were especially informative and enjoyable—each tasting was explained in detail, helping me understand aromas, flavors, structure, and quality assessment clearly. Overall, it is a highly professional academy with knowledgeable instructors and a supportive learning environment. I would definitely recommend Solaly WSET Academy to anyone looking to build strong fundamentals and confidence in wines and spirits.

I have known Sonal for many years and aside from being highly engaging, articulate, passionate and knowledgeable about all matters of wine, I find her entrepreneurial spirit, her in-depth knowledge and her professional approach to wine highly commendable. If there is an authoritative person I wish to consult about wine, it is Sonal I seek out; she is in a rare class of very few selected and talented wine enthusiasts who are difficult to find.
