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.
Au Métropolitain: introduction to wine without the headache
At Métropolitain, a trendy wine bar on the Cours d'Alsace-et-Lorraine, you can discover wine without the headache. Initiation is ideal for beginners: you learn to taste with your eyes, nose and palate, to understand labels, to talk like a pro and to pair wines with dishes. All this over good glasses and hearty small plates.
