Event Details

Wine OR Wine & Food

The southern part of France was active in viticulture long before its northern counterparts. With an eye to tradition, this region has embraced the present. There are varietal bottlings made from familiar (international) grapes as well as unique blends and wine products that have been gracing tables and taverns since antiquity. Come discover some new wines and re-discover some long-forgotten treasures!

Southern France Syllabus:

The only common denominator between the viticultural regions of Southwest France, Corsica, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence is the warmth and sunshine of their southern locales. The soils, grapes, wine styles, and wine traditions are markedly different from one another. But as they say in France, Vive la difference! Come…and experience it.
