Wines of the World: France Off the Beaten Path

Venture beyond the classic regions and discover the hidden gems of French wine. In this 4-week tasting series, you’ll explore the expressive wines of the Rhône Valley, Alsace, Beaujolais, and the South of France—regions known for their unique styles, diverse grapes, and rich traditions.
Led by the expert staff of Lake Michigan College’s Wine and Viticulture Technology Program, each session features guided tastings and comparisons with New World wines, including southwest Michigan selections.
Session Schedule:
- November 4: Rhône (Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, and blends)
- November 11: Alsace (Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and more)
- November 18: Beaujolais (Gamay-based wines from light to structured)
