The course was conducted under excellent conditions, with the instructor able to explain concepts using examples from topics other than wine. The tastings were always very interesting, and the instructor made sure to share anecdotes throughout the course, which made learning much easier. A wonderful learning experience!

A very well-done presentation given by a passionate instructor! The day was well organized, featuring a comprehensive theoretical component, a hands-on session with a few tastings, and a final exam to assess what we’d learned. I highly recommend it!

As a wine lover, I wanted to gain a better understanding of the world of wine. Alexandre wasn’t just passionate about the subject—he also shared his extensive international experience in the industry and his knowledge with us. We were lucky enough to taste a fantastic selection of over 40 wines, and I made many wonderful discoveries. I’m looking forward to starting the next level!
