What we learned in this class is enabling us to better enjoy our time in Burgundy. Thanks to this class, we finally have an understanding of the different classifications of Burgundy wines and how they are labeled. Our understanding of how to taste a wine was significantly enhanced, and the blind tasting exercise was brilliant. Classroom facilities were designed for wine tasting, including the table. The content of the presentation and the technology it used was excellent. Céline was patient and was attuned to each of us throughout the class. Amazing.

We did not know what to expect for a wine tasting in Beaune. We enjoy wine, but we're not experts,…read moreand wanted to learn in a friendly, unpretentious environment. Sensation Vin was mentioned in Rick Steves' France travel book, so we gave it a try. It was a delightful and educational experience, more than we had hoped. There were only 4 in our class, but I think the limit is 8, so the experience is personal and engaging. Our guide spoke very good English, and encouraged questions and experiential learning. We sampled 8 wines, and with each, our guide increased our knowledge of how to use our eyes, nose and mouth to experience the complexity of wine. It was a delightful two hours, and we hope to visit again!

I did not know what to expect, but so glad we did it!! I sure agree now, that this is the #1 thing to do in Beaune!! A passionate, knowledgeable, and welcoming husband and wife team introduces you to Burgundy wine, about the region, how to read wine labels, "how to taste Burgundy wines", and food paring. The blind tasting was super fun!! It was the most interesting, educational and fun, eye-opening experience. This is not your typical "wine tasting." I recommend you do this first (when you arrive in Burgundy). The knowledge you'll gain from this tasting experience will benefit the rest of your wine trip in Beaune and Burgundy. We bought a few bottles and they waived the tasting fees, but I believe its only about $10-15, for 3-hour class. (For the value, that's a super bargain!). Reservation is highly recommended. I believe the only way to make a reservation is to call them directly. They speak English so it was super easy and hassle-free to make an appointment by phone.
