The tasting and the oenologist's sharing of his craft were very interesting. I learned a lot. However, there were a few things I didn't like. There weren't enough tables for the number of us. There were no vegan options in the petits fours. The oenologist was quite scattered in his speech, going beyond his role: bad-mouthing partners, talking about the situation of winegrowers and spreading his right-wing political ideas. A very chauvinistic speech and contempt for China (bordering on xenophobia).

A great time of sharing and conviviality

We had booked this course to discover wines as beginners. The day before, we were informed that the theme would focus on effervescent ("bubbly") wines. The content of the course turned out to be quite technical, more suited to people who already had some knowledge of oenology. What's more, the beverages offered for tasting didn't really convince even the most experienced participants. As a result, no one made a purchase at the end of the session, and the group as a whole remained rather disappointed. On a positive note: the atmosphere was pleasant, the instructor was friendly and the catered food was very good.

A disappointing experience, not at all in keeping with what was on offer. The setting was not at all pleasant, with limited space and an ugly building. (Arôme et passion) I don't recommend it and I won't do it again.

Bah sorry but not terrible as our reservation was canceled at 1h of the rdv . So we had to exchange a lot to find another date, which is scheduled for Friday September 26, 2025 ... let's hope it's the right one. To be honest, it was a gift from my uncle, who paid a lot of money to make us happy. Honestly, I'm not sure I'll want to use your services again soon. Yours sincerely Nicolas

Very interesting and enjoyable workshop. Nice discovery. Great time. On the other hand, it lasts quite a long time (close to 4 hours), which is good, but it takes a little while to get going, and we're left standing, perhaps high stools would allow participants to sit down and create a faster form of conviviality, as well as a little "ICE breaker" to quickly get to know each other because at the beginning no one knows each other and throughout the workshop participants remain "in a row". So, of course, things loosen up as the workshop progresses 😁. But otherwise it was really great!
