Workshops and wine initiation in Bordeaux

To drink wine, all you have to do is lift your elbow. To taste it, it's much more elaborate, but you just need to be initiated!  During wine tasting workshops, learn to observe the beverage, its color, its aromas, to guess its composition, to master the art of blending, sommellerie or food and wine pairing.... A simple all-rounder for an initiatory journey into the world of wine.
