What to expect
Your sommelier will start with the fundamentals—how to observe colour, nose, and palate systematically rather than guessing. Expect hands-on practice with several wines, each paired thoughtfully with cheese and cured meats. The guide shares anecdotes about local producers and how the landscape shapes what's in your glass. This is interactive, so questions are welcome. You'll leave knowing how to taste consciously, not just drink.
