Explore the rich history and remarkable diversity of French wines, from extraordinary rare bottles to beloved classic selections that define the wine world. French wines form the foundation for understanding global wine varieties and styles. The French developed the first national appellation system, a model that has since become the standard for the European Union. While those seeking professional credentials can pursue our French Wine Scholar certification program, everyone will appreciate this engaging introduction to French wines.
The world-famous regions of Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux are certainly highlights, but join us to discover our other select recommendations. We will explore France's premier regions and their distinctive appellations together. In this seminar, you will taste 6 carefully selected wines while learning about the grape varieties, regional styles, and remarkable diversity that characterize France's most celebrated wines.
