Wines Of Southwestern France With Daniel Runnerstrom DipWSET

Cost: $95.00

Southwestern France is one of the country’s most diverse and least predictable wine regions—home to rugged reds, fresh whites, and an extraordinary range of indigenous grape varieties. In this class, we’ll explore the wines of Cahors, Madiran, Gaillac, Fronton, and beyond, tasting styles shaped by varied climates, soils, and centuries-old traditions that sit outside the Bordeaux spotlight. Expect bold flavors, distinctive grapes, and a deeper understanding of why Southwest France remains one of France’s most compelling regions for curious wine lovers.

Participants may choose to attend in person at the Capital Wine School or virtually on Zoom.

In Person Participants

• Please note that the building in which we are located does not have an elevator, and there are several sets of stairs to navigate to get to our classrooms on the second floor.

Virtual Participants

• Virtual participants may pick their samples up at the Capital Wine School between 12pm – 5pm on March 5.
• Virtual participants who are unable to pick their samples up may request shipping for an additional fee. However, due to various factors we are unable to guarantee delivery by the event date. Participants who choose the shipping option and who do not receive their wines in time for the live session are encouraged to wait and taste their wines along with a recording of the class session.
• Requests for shipping must be received at least 7 days prior to class, and all registrations for virtual attendance must be received by close of business the Monday prior to the class.
• Additional information regarding curbside pickups will be emailed a day or two prior to class.
• You may review our policy regarding wine samples for virtual participants here.

To ensure a quality experience for all participants, each class or course requires a minimum number of registrations. If this minimum is not met, we may need to cancel the session. In such cases, registered students will be notified as soon as possible and provided with options for rescheduling or a full refund.
