Wine school over 3 days 👩🏼‍🏫

SipSomm invites you to Wine School — three evenings focusing on the world of wine.

Are you curious about wine but unsure where to start? Or would you like to have a deeper understanding of what is hiding in the glass? At this wine school, over three evenings you will get an educational, informal and tasteful introduction to the basic building blocks of wine.

Through tastings, dialogue and concrete examples, we delve into topics such as winemaking, grape varieties, terroir, climate and taste techniques. The goal is to give you the tools to understand, describe and enjoy wine with greater confidence.

DAY 1 -- WHAT IS WINE?

Let's start with the basics: What is wine really and how is it made? You will learn about the different types of wine, the making of wine and get an introduction to wine tasting and wine analysis.

We taste, among other things:

• Sparkling wine
• White wine
• Rosé wine
• Orangevin
• Red wine

DAY 2 -- GRAPES, COUNTRIES AND STYLES

What is the importance of the grape variety for the taste of the wine? And how do Europe's wine countries differ from each other? We explore some of the world's most important grape varieties and their characteristics.

We taste, among other things:

• Chardonnay
• Riesling
• Pinot Noir
• Merlot

DAY 3 -- SAME GRAPE, DIFFERENT EXPRESSION

How does climate and terroir affect the finished wine? On the final evening, we examine how the same grape variety can express itself widely differently depending on where it is grown.

Among other things, we look at:

• Old World Chardonnay vs. New World
• The importance of climate for style, aroma and structure
• The role of terroir in the expression of wine

After the three evenings, you'll have a solid foundation for understanding wine and navigating more confidently in wine's many styles and flavor universes.

We look forward to welcoming you to three educational and pleasant evenings in the sign of wine.

Cheers!
