Description:

Hear about French wines from an expert, review the different wine regions of France, and learn how to read a French wine label. Master the craft of winetasting, sample 6 different organic wines, and enjoy a attentive and laid-back atmosphere.

You professional host introduces you to a wine expert specializing in organic wines. Learn that these varieties are made from grapes grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, this natural process providing them their unique character.

As the insightful class continues, explore the main wine regions of France and the differences of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley, Alsace, and Provence. Learn about the complex process of making champagne and pick up wine terminology in French—like cépages (grape variety), terroir (characteristics from geography and climate), and appellation (wine region)—to improve your reading of wine labels.

Then put your new skills into practice. Review the craft of proper winetasting and sample generous servings of 6 French wines—including white, rosé, 3 reds, and champagne—accompanied by a snack of olives and bread. Take advantage of the attentive and intimate atmosphere to ask any questions you have about French wine and be ready to go out for dinner and order wine like a pro.
