Tasting initiation: a workshop to learn how to taste like a pro! | The greatest destinations in the vineyards of France – France’s official wine tourism portal

Have you always wanted to do a wine tasting but were afraid to try? Put aside your doubts. This workshopis made for you! You’re a wine enthusiast? That’s no problem either: just forget your prejudices and you’re likely to be surprised! 

Here, it’s not about intellectualizing wine tasting, which is, above all, a sensory and emotional experience.

With masked bottles and black wine glasses, the sommelier helps the participants learn the basics of tasting, through the many clues revealed during the workshop: colour, intensity, aromatic profile, balance. From white to red, and not forgetting rosé, the sommelier introduces the main types and styles of wines in a one-hour tasting of a selection of 3 world wines (accompanied by bread sticks). An opportunity to let go of apprehensions and awaken the senses and olfactory memories without being influenced by the appearance or the label!
