August Masterclass Focus:

A Taste of Burgundy

In this first session of our new masterclass series, you'll explore eight carefully selected wines showcasing the richness and diversity of Burgundy. This legendary French wine region is home to both the elegant Chardonnay and the expressive Pinot Noir.

Guided by our sommelier, you'll learn to observe, smell and taste like a true oenophile. Discover how to describe a wine’s aroma, decipher its structure, and understand the elements that make Burgundy one of the most revered wine regions in the world.

Expect a hands-on, educational format: a short intro with nibbles, followed by a focused tasting session with supporting notes, plus the opportunity to ask questions and deepen your knowledge of both wine and French culture.
