Introduction to French Wines
Your expert guide shares the basics of French wine and wine drinking in general, offering pours from 3 distinct bottles so you can make flavor notes and comparisons.

Tour de France of Wine
Learn about France’s winemaking regions, which grapes are grown in each, and how the climate and terroir (characteristics of the soil) influence their flavor profiles. Your guide also explains how to read a French wine label as you sip 6 great wines—including a champagne—and nibble on baked goods from a bread basket.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Wines
Expand your wine-drinking horizons as you sample lesser-known varietals from regions beyond the standard Burgundy and Bordeaux. Taste 6 wines from vintners who are doing things a little bit differently, and cleanse your palate between sips with a fresh-baked bread basket.

Grands Crus
Indulge a little during your stay in Paris with a tasting of France’s most celebrated wines. Savor 6 generous pours from prestigious bottles, including a sparkling champagne and the legendary “liquid gold” of the Château d’Yquem. Perfectly paired nibbles include breads, cheese, charcuterie, and foie gras.
