Dieter Schafer will guide you through the wine regions of Alsace and Loire (11:30-12:00), and introduce you to the wines produced. His presentation will precede the wine tasting at 12:30 of Alsace and Loire wines. Dieter will be available to present a brief overview of the wine regions of Bourgogne, Provence, Champagne, Bordeaux and Rhône.

Dieter Schafer lived in France for six years and visits Paris and French wine regions annually. He is a certified educator, sommelier and principal of Hospitality & Wine Education (winedieter.wordpress.com) with 40+ years of restaurant industry and teaching experience acquired in 12 countries in Europe, Africa, Middle East, and North America.

Now in its sixth year, the French Fest at Seattle Center is a part of the Seattle Center’s FESTÁL cultural event series and attracts 5,000 visitors. The event is free and open to the public. French Fest draws its inspiration from the worldwide “Day of Francophonie,” organized in over 100 countries each March to celebrate the diversity of Francophone cultures and traditions around the world. During the Seattle event, festival-goers of all ages have an opportunity to enjoy many activities – all with a “French” twist: live music, theater and dance performances, French cuisine, book sales, informative seminars and demonstrations, “best baguette” contest, games and more. The event is organized by the nonprofit organization, France Education Northwest, with the support of Seattle Center FESTÁL, the French-American Chamber of Commerce of the Pacific Northwest, and the Consular Agency of France in Seattle.

Sunday, March 25, 2018; 11:00 am-6:00 pm.
