Wines of the Festive Season and Food/Wine Pairings

These sessions, which have been taking place for 20 years now, are led by professional oenologist Muriel Petit and KEDGE Alumnus Olivier Mora.

Our wine-tasting events are open to all KEDGE students and graduates, and to external participants, whether located in France or abroad. The sessions will take place via videoconference once every two months starting at 7 pm. Participants will receive PDF documentation before each session and can interact with and ask our wine expert any questions they may have.  What's more, each session ends with a live tasting!  

OPTIONAL: If you’d like, you can buy a wine that goes with the theme of the evening to taste during the session. Prior to each session, you will receive wine suggestions related to that evening’s theme.
