In mid-June, The London Wine
Academy together with La Verričre will open its doors to a small select
international group of wine enthusiasts keen to boost their wine knowledge
and appreciation. We will host a full-immersion 5-day wine course that
combines serious learning with serious fun in an idyllic setting. We hope
that this wine course may be of interest to you or to your acquaintances.
It is designed to unite the "best of" elements from traditional wine
courses. It combines the rigour of the prestigious WSET Intermediate
Certification*, conducted in English by top Masters of Wine, with hands-on
time in the vineyard and the winery**, where participants can even blend
their own assemblage.
All levels are welcome: it's a
small group (12 max) in an intimate setting, so instruction resembles
private tutoring, as content can be custom-made to each person's needs.
Participants will decipher labels, train taste buds, learn to manage a
cellar, and much more. They should be prepared to dedicate their time to
wine, even down to exploring food pairings at dinner. But it's not all work
and no play-They can enjoy entertainment, creative wine 'games' and
pampering, as well as access to all the facilities at La Verričre... tennis,
boules, gym, infinity pool, indoor & outdoor jacuzzi, minispa and on-site
helipad. Spouse programs available.
La Verričre is a medieval priory recently restored to the highest standards
of comfort and luxury, and dedicated exclusively to high level professional
and cultural exchanges and learning. It sits high in the foothills of the
Mt.Ventoux, in Provence in a Unesco-protected biosphere reserve. Its
state-of-the-art boutique winery, Chęne Bleu, uses only the most exacting
qualitative and environmentally friendly practices.
Information about the property is available on
www.laverriere.com.
