Vive la France! – A Wine Tasting Tour de France in Wilmington
Join us for a fun French adventure: no passport, plane ticket, or awkward high school French required! In this lively tasting class,
we’ll swirl, sniff, and sip our way through France’s most iconic wine regions - from the sun-drenched vineyards of Provence, with noble
Bordeaux, elegant Burgundy, and charming Loire in between. Think of it as a Tour de France, but with fewer hills and way more wine. Along
the way, you'll learn why terroir is more than just a fancy word to impress your friends, and which region to thank for making rosé a
summertime staple.
Sign up early, space is limited!
