Discover the wines of the Rhone Valley through an in-depth study of southern France's most celebrated wine region. This class examines the area's rich history, diverse geography, distinct climate patterns, and outstanding wine production. The Rhone River serves as a geographical and cultural dividing line, separating the region into two dramatically different wine-producing zones; the northern half follows the river closely with concentrated production, while the southern half spreads across a wider landscape with more varied terrain and less riverine connection. These distinct geographical areas develop unique soil types and topographical characteristics, leading to profoundly different wine styles and individual personalities. Explore both halves and develop a comprehensive understanding of this remarkable region.
