BURGUNDY WINE SCHOOL

Wine courses

In the heart of Dijon's Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin, you'll discover the immersive workshops of the Ecole des Vins de Bourgogne. 70 m² dedicated to a concept of 4 tasting workshops designed for a unique experience: a fun and convivial moment comparable to a key opening several doors to the fascinating world of Burgundy wines.

The Wine and Food Pairing Workshop: in just one hour, you'll discover 5 different Burgundy appellations paired with regional products that you can then buy in the Cité's gastronomic village. At home, with friends, you can reproduce the food and wine pairings and share the pleasure.

L'Atelier Vins de terroir: 40 minutes during which you taste, in pairs, four appellations from the north to the south of Burgundy. Comparing wines, understanding the concept of Climats and their unique character, which led to their inscription on the UNESCO list, and learning how to read a label will help you choose your own Burgundy wine.

Introduction to wine tasting: 3 appellations and a 40-minute commented tasting of a Crémant de Bourgogne, a white and a red. This is the perfect way to share your impressions, using the right words and vocabulary from the world of wine. You'll be able to evoke and share your olfactory, visual and gustatory sensations, and make yourself understood.

The Vintage Effect: 40 minutes to explore 3 white wines or 3 red wines, depending on the session. You taste the same appellation, the same producer and different vintages. You'll understand why, here in Burgundy, the vintage is more important than elsewhere. This workshop will teach you how to better select a wine and its vintage.

A duo offer invites you to share this unique multi-sensory journey, where visual, auditory and gustatory immersions are intertwined. Each workshop plunges you into an immersive atmosphere, giving you the sensation of walking through the vines or crunching the red fruit on the walls. With a maximum of 18 participants, you'll enjoy the experience in an intimate setting. Once you've left the Ecole des Vins, you'll be even more eager to discover the region and the diversity of its wines, confident that you've got the key(s) to Burgundy winegrowing.

Finally, combine your ticket with that of Dijon's Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin for a more global vision of Burgundy and its art of living.
