Wine Tasting
Workshop
Guided tasting led by a passionate sommelier: wines, ciders and calvados from Normandy in an exceptional setting. A sensory and convivial workshop for your teams.
The art of tasting
A sensory workshop on Normandy wines & terroirs
Guided by a passionate sommelier or wine merchant, your employees learn to look, smell and taste: an introduction to sensory analysis that turns tasting into a genuinely shared experience.
Normandy is not only a land of cider and calvados: it is also a destination of choice for lovers of French wines, with delivery points and private cellars that make it possible to discover the best producers in the country.
Available as wine tasting, food and wine pairing, Norman ciders & calvados or Wine Casino (competitive team version).
« A moment of relaxation and discovery: our team loved the playful side of the Casino du Vin. »
