Wine tourism and wine tasting day
In France, wine tourism is attracting more and more French and foreign tourists. This growing trend allows you to discover the French art of living during a stay in a vineyard, in the middle of nature.
There are different types of wine tourism stays, weekends, itinerant tours, and even day trips. Many wineries offer wine tasting days, which allow you to discover a world for a day, to learn the art of wine tasting without having to devote your entire holiday to it, or simply to break the daily routine by trying a new activity.
With the expansion of wine tourism, more and more wineries are offering introductory wine tasting sessions, organised and led by qualified professionals in the field.
What is a wine tasting day?
Participating in a wine tasting day organised at a winery is the ideal way to learn about the art of oenology and to discover the basics of wine tasting thanks to different workshops, led by professional oenologists.
Indeed, knowing how to describe a wine and its aromas is not easy. The wine tasting day allows you to refine your palate, while benefiting from the know-how and advice of oenologists and sommeliers. In addition to learning how to taste wine, you will learn new vocabulary and discover the different stages of wine production.
During a wine tasting day, the aim is to transcribe and interpret the sensations one feels, to describe the different textures, aromas, etc. The subjective feeling, the experience of wine tasting is therefore unique to each person. The best thing about participating in a wine tasting day is that you can exchange and debate with the other participants about the different wines presented.
Etymologically, the term "tasting" comes from the verb "to taste", which is why we may tend to associate wine tasting with taste. However, it is an activity that awakens more than one sense. The basic stages of wine tasting involve sight, smell and taste. In chronological order, the four basic steps are: visual examination, first nose, second nose and taste examination.
