When talking about wine (and Cavistes...), we are often tempted to make a direct link between age and quality. Thus, when asked, most people would prefer to drink old rather than young, but the bottles available for purchase are rarely older than our last car… So, how does one get started?

This workshop is therefore a first step toward understanding the principles of wine aging and will cover decanting, ‘carafage’, aeration, aging measurements, and other topics regarding wine ageism. To support our claims, we will open a few old and very old bottles from our Cavistes reserve.

Fans of tertiary aromas are welcome to join this magnificent tasting of old vintages.

Workshop-tasting price including wine, appetizers, and service: $134 + taxes.

Weekend tasting workshops generally last between two and a half and three hours. We present the subject matter during a half-hour of theory and then taste six dishes paired with six wines.

A few days before the workshop, a reminder email will be sent to you, and we ask that you let us know about any allergies or alternative dietary requirements in advance so that we can serve you better. It is important to communicate this information to us before the day of the workshop.
The tasting includes 6 wines, in styles that vary according to availability, accompanied by 6 matching dishes.
Les Cavistes are proud to have offered, for over 13 years, a secure and simple digital platform for giving a gift-tasting workshop.

This offer consists of a digital gift certificate exchangeable at any time for our tasting workshops.

Upon receipt of the confirmation email, you will notice that you can print or save a gift certificate version of your purchase.

The classifications we use for gift certificates are as follows and represent both a monetary value and a workshop class. While the monetary value is fixed, the price of the categories may vary over time.
