What to expect
You'll arrive at the workshop and begin with an overview of the Southern Rhône's key grape varieties. The oenologist will walk you through tasting notes and characteristics of each, then guide you through the blending process step by step. You'll measure, pour, and adjust your own mix, tasting as you go to feel how each addition changes the flavour profile. Once you've settled on your blend, you'll sample the finished product before heading out.
