About this tour
A two-hour tasting in Nice's city centre led by a sommelier working through eight French wines that span Provence, Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Loire Valley. You'll learn how terroir, grape selection, and winemaking tradition produce vastly different styles across regions, then taste your way through each. Cheese and local charcuterie accompany the wines, creating the kind of session where you leave confident enough to navigate a wine list back home.

What to expect
Expect a structured but relaxed two hours. The sommelier introduces each wine—its origin, grape varieties, and what makes it distinct—then you taste blind or informed, depending on the option chosen. Between pours, you'll nibble quality French cheese and cured meats. The 'Classic' route covers iconic regional benchmarks; 'Sommelier Selection' ventures into smaller producers and unexpected styles. Questions are welcome; this isn't a lecture. By the end, you'll understand why a Burgundy tastes like itself and how to spot quality when you're buying.
Good to know
