| Wine Tastings at our Self Catering Gites in SW France |
| Chris has made his living in the wine business teaching 'wine' to employees within the hospitality industry. It is also a passionate hobby and he enjoys sharing his knowledge to all who are interested and dispelling some of the mystery which surrounds wine. We are ideally situated here in the Charente Maritime, the cottages are in fact in the heart of the Fin Bois region of Cognac and vines can be found in any direction. Bordeaux and its world famous vineyards are only a 1 hrs drive. An introduction to wine tasting If you love France you probably enjoy wine. You might also like to know a little more about it. Six fine wines will be selected to give a well rounded and enjoyable wine tasting. The evening is intended to be informal and friendly, where you feel at ease and able to ask any questions you wish about wine. Chris will go through in detail how to taste a wine including appearance, nose and taste. You will have the chance to make notes and discuss what you see, smell, think about each wine. No one will be put on the spot and you can say as much or as little as you wish. After the wine tasting Chris will talk a bit about his top tips for wine buying. This is often one of the highlights of our guests stay. It is not a sales opportunity on our part, indeed there is nothing for sale ! It is a professional, yet fun and friendly tutored Wine Tasting. 20€ per adult min 6 adults We also offer Guided visits to a local wine producer and Family Vine walks. |
