What to Expect

Activity Level 3

This is a stellar tour of one of the premier wine regions of the world. Home to some of the planet’s greatest and most refined wines, Burgundy’s reputation is as good as it gets. This is the opportunity to discover the wines, personalities and landscape of this wonderful part of France. Co-hosted by Raymond Blake, an Irish wine journalist and author who has an intimate knowledge of the region. He writes the Burgundy entries for Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Wine Book (following two previous books specifically about Burgundy) and owns a house in the region with his wife and writes regularly for The World of Fine Wine. He is currently working on a number of articles for a new book - ‘On Burgundy’ - that will feature contributions from two dozen of the world’s leading Burgundy authorities and will be published later this year.

Study Leader(s)
