What native of Provence doesn’t know the aperitif? This familiar and friendly lifestyle ritual can be a difficult moment for some amongst us, the reason? Surely a lack of experience. This is why the workshop on the aperitif in Upper Provence instructs you in how to prepare sure and simple recipes, and then invites you to taste them afterwards during a genuine Provencal aperitif. And how could we forget, to accompany this aperitif, the oenology workshop? You will discover the basics of wine tasting and the characteristics of wines from Upper Provence, within a prestigious lecture hall. These workshops will take you to the heart of Provence!
