Description:

Hone your tasting techniques in a workshop designed to develop your sense of sight, smell and taste. Discover the colors and fragrances of different organic and biodynamic wine varietals, and learn about the notions of terroir (characteristics of climate and soil), appellation, and classification.

Provence is a key wine-producing region in the southeast of France. The particularly long, hot, and sunny growing season makes for wines with higher alcohol content than most French bottles. Provençal vineyards sprawl across sun-kissed, rolling hills, nestled between fields of lavender and fragrant orchards of olive, almond, and pear.

Start your course by getting to know the basic vocabulary of concepts related to wine. Learn about the influence of terroir, which considers the impact of geography and climate on the features of a wine, and explore the importance of appellation as you taste a range of organic and biodynamic wines. Enjoy some olfactory guessing games, quizzes, and blind tastings in a attentive and laidback atmosphere and hear insightful stories about winemaking in the South of France from your knowledgeable, expert guide.
