2. Cost of taking the Master Sommelier exam
This issue definitely needs to be on our list of master sommelier facts, salary, exam costs, and more, because it’s of a great importance if you are serious about becoming the professional in this field. For a diploma, the costs involved are somewhat high. But the prestige of becoming a sommelier makes up for it.

- Level I – Introductory Sommelier Course & Examination ($525.00)
- Level II – Certified Sommelier Examination ($595)
- Level III – Advanced Sommelier ($995)
- Level IV – Master Sommelier (both Tasting & Practical Examination $1500 USD)
