A day entirely dedicated to wine lovers, with many wines and enogastronomic products for tasting and two exceptional masterclasses:
Masterclass “Old Vines of Burgundy” (11:30-13:30)
It’s a seminar with many points of interest. First of all, the Burgundy region, one of the most celebrated in the world, which we will ideally travel through to analyze its history, stylistic trends, and wine identity traits. The common denominator of the prestigious bottles selected is their origin from venerable vineyards. What do “vieilles vignes” – often mentioned on the label – provide to the final wine? These and other questions will be answered in the morning with a frontal presentation and tasting of six Burgundy labels chosen by the speaker for their didactic effectiveness as well as their overwhelming quality.
Cost: €90

Masterclass “The Whites of the Loire” (16:00-18:00)
A journey of a thousand kilometers, more than half of which passes through historic wine territories, characterizes the Loire, the great French river around which one of the most beautiful and large valleys in the world develops, between gardens, castles, monuments, churches, abbeys, but also farms and wineries, and where white wine denominations of decisive importance worldwide – from Sancerre to Pouilly-Fumé, from Vouvray to Savennières, to Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine – create an engaging mosaic. The afternoon seminar with tasting will ideally travel through the Loire from the first vineyards of Pouilly to the estuary, illustrating regulations, trends, grape varieties, expressive styles, and climatic and geological differences along the way.
