The class will visit wineries, wine taverns (called heurigers in Vienna), retailers/wholesalers, and trade associations in order to grasp the full picture of wine “in context.” Essential to this practical approach is also the instructor’s long association with the topic and the region and his personal experience as wine grower, consumer, and traveler to many of the wine world’s regions.īut there is a richer, deeper, less tangible, component to the course as well.

This course takes a comprehensive and practical look at the process and the important factors that bring wine from field to table.
