The tastings are designed to be rich and personalized, blending theory and practice (terroir considerations, grape varieties, tasting techniques) to guarantee a unique and accessible experience for everyone.

A friendly and professional experience

Our workshops are led by passionate sommeliers in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. You will taste in small groups or even alone , while sharing mixed platters of charcuterie and cheeses from French regions. Each commented vin is explained pedagogically : the goal is not to be " expert "But to enjoy yourself, awaken your senses, and learn wine terminology. Our instructors adapt their presentation to your level to make the tasting fun and enriching . At the end of the workshop, you will leave not only with the words to describe the acidity, tannins, or length of a wine, but also with your favorites that you can buy on site ."

 

A journey to the heart of French terroirs

The tasting is intended to be a true sensory journey through the French wine regions. Our selection of wines covers the full range of emblematic grape varieties: from Champagne (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) to Bordeaux (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot), including Burgundy .  (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay), the Rhône Valley (Syrah, Grenache), the Loire Valley (Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc), or Provence (Grenache, Cinsault). At each stage, the sommelier reveals the aromas and characteristics of each wine, explaining the richness of the terroir and the history of the appellations. This workshop offers the opportunity to recognize the major grape varieties, understand how climate and soil influence the wine, and taste wines representative of each region. The commentary highlights the diversity of French wines and helps you refine your preferences.
