FORTIFIED WINES
Fortified wines have a long history: Porto, Madaira, Sherry. They are outcasts of the wine world, often misunderstood, but a true gem for the real wine lover because of their intensity and complexity. Discover the full range from red to white, dry to sweet, and fruity to oxidative.

VOLCANIC WINES
It’s no coincidence that so many great wines come from volcanic soils. We all know the Etna and Vesuvius in Italy, but also Soave, parts of Germany (Baden, Nahe) and France (Alsace, Beaujolais), and many islands share this soil type. We will taste and discuss around 8 different wines to understand the impact of this soil, and to discover whether there is a common flavour profile. An experience not to be missed!
