What you can expect

On the programme

1️⃣ Exploring flavours
Discover the basic tastes (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami) through a sensory approach.

2️⃣ Understanding interactions
How a food (a main course or bread) transforms the perception of wine: texture, acidity, tannins, and aromas.

3️⃣ Guided tasting
Learn to taste like a professional: analyse, feel, and put your sensations into words.

4️⃣ Food, wine, and bread pairings
Discover different types of pairings:
• Harmony
• contrast
• balance
• Texture pairing (particularly distinctive with bread)

5️⃣ Putting it into practice
Test, compare, and experiment to understand what works… and why.
