In this class we will explore the wines of 3 different regions of France. We will start with wines from the Loire Valley in Central France and move south to Provence, including the Rhone Valley and finally the Languedoc Roussillon region. These areas all produce wines that are excellent for summer sipping. Each week, students will have the opportunity to sample 3 to 5 wines alongside small food items that will serve to cleanse the palate between tastings.

 

This course will have a course fee of $40 to cover the cost of the wines and small food items. This course will meet for 3 weeks. It will end on July 24.
