The École des Vins reopens: You’re going to love discovering Bourgogne!

07/07/2020

Find your way in Bourgogne wines with the Ecole des vins de Bourgogne!

Forced to close its doors to the general public during the pandemic, the École des Vins de Bourgogne is once again welcoming wine lovers keen to explore the full range of our appellations.

Now that the summer has returned, why not come and enjoy a “Stroll through Vines and Wines”? On 25 July and 29 August, a two-hour trail will lead participants through plots around Beaune, with commented tastings revealing the secrets of Bourgogne wine. Nature, pleasure, and learning are all guaranteed. The program will cover the terroir and Climats of Bourgogne, the hierarchy of the appellations, tasting techniques, and the history of the wines in our beloved region.

For those who have already made their summer plans, don’t worry! The École des Vins de Bourgogne also has plenty lined up for early September onwards.

From the first Saturday in September, you can try your hand at tasting through “The Fundamentals” workshop. These sessions involve looking at, smelling, and tasting white wines, red wines, and Crémant de Bourgogne.

You can take the experience even further with our “Discovery Days”. After a tasting lunch, the afternoon is dedicated to exploring plots of Grand Cru vines on the Côte de Nuits, followed by a guided tour of the legendary Château du Clos de Vougeot. The day finishes with the chance to discover what goes on inside a wine estate followed by a tasting.

 

For the English speaking public, there is a possibility to arrange "sur mesure" session. For those tailored sessions, please contact ecoledesvins@bivb.com or call +33 (0)3 80 26 35 10.
