Provence WIne Immersion Study Trip with Elizabeth Gabay MW

AN ARTIST’S PALETTE OF FLAVOR AWAITS YOUR PALATE IN PROVENCE!

Picasso…Cézanne…Van Gogh…add your name to the list of masters inspired by Provence! Be it in on canvas or in the glass, there is something about the sheer lightness of being in this region of France!

While wine always conveys a sense of place, this is especially true in a wine region that fills the senses to full capacity. Deepen your knowledge of the wines of Provence while savoring a hearty bouillabaisse and feeling the bite of the Mistral. Put those crisp whites, rubenesque pinks and toothsome reds in context as you walk through resinous garrigue, listen to the resounding burr of the cicadas and soak up some lavender-infused southern sunshine..

Immerse yourself in Provence and find out why the stunning French Riviera is one of France’s hottest wine regions
