The essentials of wine, simplified.
Learn how to taste and understand wine in this one-evening course in Basel. For people who want wine to feel easier to navigate and more rewarding to explore.
When wine feels like guesswork
You enjoy wine, but sometimes:
- You default to the 'safe' bottle
- Ordering in a restaurant feels stressful
- You’re unsure how to describe what you like
- Labels and regions blur together
You’re not alone.
This course blends practical tasting with the key principles behind wine. You’ll learn how to taste with intention, so you understand not just what you like, but why.
Structured. Practical. Personal.
The course gives you orientation in a crowded wine world. Across 7 carefully chosen wines, you’ll learn:
- How to taste wine and recognise its key characteristics
- The language that helps you describe what’s in your glass
- What shapes flavour, from vineyard decisions to winemaking choices
- Practical, flexible approaches to food and wine pairing
- How everyday things like temperature and storage influence how a wine tastes
You'll leave with practical tools and a broadened mindset to see and experience wine differently.
