    Private Winetasting

    August 29, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We had a private winetasting with a sommelier. For this event, he took us down to the tunnels that connected Clos Luce with the king's castle. Leonardo da Vinci and Francis I used to meet down here. The king affectionately called Leonardo "my father."

    The sommelier explained the process of correctly tasting a wine. Then he had us sample 4 different wines from the Loire Valley and we analyzed the characteristics of each. In France, wine is consumed with food to enhance the taste of each. There are some wines which you would never drink by themselves. The sommelier gave us different types of cheese and sausage so we could see how different the wine tasted with different foods.
