Founded in 1982, the International Sommelier Guild is a higher education organization based in Tamarac, Florida, that provides sommelier education and certification through classroom-based and online formats. Its curriculum is developed by wine and hospitality professionals along with PhD educators, combining practical industry insight with academic rigor. The guild operates globally through a network of host schools and distributors, enabling localized delivery and multilingual instruction to support learners in non-English-speaking regions.

Its programs are designed for individuals pursuing sommelier credentials and for hospitality professionals seeking formal education and certification, with instructors drawn from winemaking, culinary, and hospitality backgrounds. The organization positions itself within the higher education landscape by offering a structured, credentialed pathway that can be undertaken in learners' preferred formats and languages. In March 2026, ISG announced a partnership to deliver its education programs in Switzerland through Wine Education Switzerland, expanding its international footprint.
