For 2 hours, you will learn how to decipher a label, choose your tasting glass, oenological terms and the first steps. A "recognizing aromas" workshop will be offered: recognizing the primary aromas will help you unravel the hidden secrets of wines. You will end up putting into practice what you have learned, with the tasting of four wines. This moment will be accompanied by appetizers.

The wines of our regions Terroir tasting

Your sommelier invites you to discover the wine secrets of our terroirs on a selection of our regions and grape varieties.

For 2 hours, you will taste five wines from a particular terroir, or from the same grape variety. You will appreciate: the guided discovery of the different flavors and aromas, the history of the wines tasted, but also the pairing of this selection with the ideal dishes. To perfect the initiation, Sandrine will present the good gestures to adopt for the service of wine (temperature, decanting, types of glasses, etc.) and the oenological terms. This moment of conviviality will be enhanced with appetizers from our regions.
