Join us for an introduction to the main wine producing regions of France.
Event details
Webinar
One of the first things you see on the label of a French wine is the region it is from - but what do names like Bourgogne, Bordeaux, and Chablis really mean? This session will introduce the key wine producing regions of France. We will cover how the location and climate affects the wines made there, the grape varieties that are synonymous with the regions, and the styles of wine associated with different labelling terms.
The new series of free bitesize 30-minute webinars are open to anyone and are ideal for beginners looking to learn more about wine.
