Immerse Yourself in the World of Fine Wine and Luxury Travel
May 6, 2009
Join a small and exclusive group of international wine lovers for five days of total immersion, June 14-18, 2009 at La Verrière, Provence, South of France.
Stay in
La Verriere
, a magnificent medieval priory, which has been recently restored to the highest standards of rustic luxury, and enjoy superb cooking by a renowned Provençal chef.
Gain the prestigious WSET Intermediate Certificate in Wines and Spirits, and the Chêne Bleu Extreme Wine Certificate for Applied Knowledge in only 4-1/2 days. (Offered in conjunction with the London Wine Academy and Christie's Wine Education.)
Extreme Wine offers an unparalleled experience for select participants to learn with world-renowned Masters of Wine and winemakers, taste benchmark the best wines in the world and gain hands-on wine-making experience and to understand first hand what makes the difference between good wine and great wine.
"Students typically taste well over 100 wines they all go home with diplomas and enough knowledge to dazzle any sommelier."
- Town & Country Magazine, November 2008
"This course is brilliant...A wonderful use of my time and worth every cent!"
- Katja Klopf, Strategic Marketing Consultant, Austria
REASONS TO ATTEND
Simply the best wine course in its category: Nicole Rolet scoured the globe in search of the ultimate wine course and created a composite of all the best elements of any wine course anywhere, then added exciting hands-on training in the classroom, the winery and at the vineyard.
Great Value, as it combines top instruction, top certification, top accommodation, best wines and magnificent food.
Top Location and Accommodations: a medieval priory and its boutique winery producing couture wine Chene Bleu, renovated to the highest standards of comfort and luxury and complete with a dedicated high-tech tasting room (www.laverriere.com), in an idyllic setting.
Creative Curriculum: a delicate balance between extreme learning and extreme fun, mixing theory and practice.
The Fun Factor: Study for your WSET Certificate by the infinity pool at the foot of the spectacular Mt.Ventoux, play creative wine games, such as blind tasting in the dark with night-vision goggles, Spin-the-Champagne-Bottle, and Bluff the Sommelier.
An opportunity to taste the absolute finest manifestations of local and international wines to set benchmarks, like studying the great Masters in Art and to meet several famous wine makers.
Try your hand at blending your own wine, and discover the art behind the science.
The best instructors anywhere: Clive Barlow, director of the Institute of Masters of Wine, and Nick Dumergue, and First Master of Wine based in Asia.
Wine tutoring, that enables the course to accommodate all different levels of wine knowledge, confidence and experience.
Food & Wine Matching: a chance to mix-and-match fantastic combinations of the best wines with the cuisine that suits them best.
