Saturday Introduction to French Wine with Lunch

Join us for a relaxed, enjoyable day exploring the incredible diversity of France’s vineyards. Perfect for wine lovers of all levels, this course offers a fun and informative introduction to the regions, grapes, and styles that make France the most celebrated wine country in the world.

We’ll begin the day in style with a glass of Champagne, before moving on to a guided tasting of 10 fantastic French wines. Along the way, you’ll learn to taste like a professional and discover:

• How wine is made

• The key winemaking regions of France

• The major red and white grape varieties

• How climate and terroir influence flavour and style

• Tips for understanding French wine labels

• Simple, useful food and wine matching advice

Midway through the day, we’ll take a break to enjoy a delicious three-course lunch, before continuing our tasting journey through France in the afternoon.

No tasting experience is necessary — all levels of knowledge are welcome at our events.

The menu will be shared closer to the date, and we’ll ask you to confirm your selections no later than one week prior to the event.
