Wines on the table
What the tasting covers
The session is structured as a north-to-south journey. We begin with the Northern Rhône — a cooler, more austere zone where Syrah reigns on steep granite terraces above the river, and where Viognier produces one of France's most individual white wines in Condrieu. We then move south to a warmer, broader valley where Grenache-dominant blends, garrigue aromatics and warm sun-baked fruit define the style. The contrast between a Saint-Joseph Syrah and a Châteauneuf-du-Pape rouge — made 120 kilometres apart — is one of the most instructive in French wine.
Tickets include all six wines, printed tasting notes, and a 60-minute Q&A session with a WSET-certified guide. Before attending, the cool and warm climate styles guide and the how to taste wine guide are recommended preparation.
