Course Overview
Dive into the diverse and dynamic world of Japanese winemaking with our enlightening two-hour course, "Japanese Wine in 2 Hours." Contrary to common perceptions that limit Japanese wine to just a few grape varieties, this course unveils a rich tapestry of international grapes thriving across the country. From the delicate whispers of Burgundy inspirations to the robust echoes of Bordeaux, the Japanese wine industry has pivoted from mere emulation to forging a distinct identity centered on its unique terroir and varietals.
Throughout this session, you'll explore the authentic expressions and soft, intricate nuances of wines crafted by Japanese vintners who have honed their skills in France's prestigious vineyards and schools. Returning home, these visionary winemakers have tapped into the potential of Japan's varied regions, from the snowy north to the lush south, planting roots that absorb and reflect the local landscapes.
Join us on a vinous journey that travels through the heart of Japan, tasting and learning how each region molds its signature wines. This course promises not only to expand your palate but also to reshape your understanding of Japanese winemaking.
