Description

Take part in a wine-tasting workshop led by an expert and relish a variety of regional wines. Soak up the ambiance of a Bordeaux wine bar and settle in for a course of oenology in the heart of the city, 2 steps away from the Grand Theatre. Learn about concepts, such as terroir, grape varieties, appellation, classification, vinification/winemaking, aging, storage, and the art of wine service. Start with a first glass of white wine, allowing you to awaken your senses and learn the key steps of the tasting with a universal method. Next, sip on three glasses of regional single-grape red wines to pick up on their characteristics and blending, a common practice in the region. Finally, taste two fine wines, one from the left bank and the second from the right bank, one of which is a Bordeaux grand cru. Wines will be paired with fine local charcuterie and cheeses to enhance your immersion in the local culture while you learn some basic knowledge about food and wine pairing.
