Berrys' One Day Introduction to Burgundy Wine School, 26th May

This One Day Introduction to Burgundy is a fantastic opportunity if you don’t know a great deal about Burgundy, but would like to. If you’ve always been entranced by the region’s sublime wines, but also slightly bewildered by the complexity of it all, then this is the day for you. Wine Education Specialist Anne McHale will take you on a vinous tour from Chablis in the north right down to Pouilly-Fuissé in the south, via some of Burgundy’s top red and white wines in the Côte d’Or. You will explore hierarchical differences between village, Premier and Grand Cru wines, learn about some of the region’s most famous growers and engage more closely with the intriguing concept of terroir. The morning session will be followed by a wonderful three-course luncheon in our Napoleon Cellar, where you will see how expressive these wines are when matched with the superb Burgundian-inspired cuisine of our Head Chef Stewart Turner.
