That was well put together with a ton of education. Wendy Narby is one of the best educators I have ever met!

My masterclasses, seminars and tastings are a great opportunity for anyone new to Bordeaux or simply to expand existing wine knowledge.

They help wine producers engage with their clients and distributors and allow operators to train their staff in the details of Bordeaux, dispelling some of the myths around the region.

I put my 30 years of experience in the French wine, food and tourism industry into tailoring engaging wine experiences to specific audiences including companies outside the industry wanting to create motivational events around the wonderful world of wine.

My premise ‘Knowledge Increases Pleasure’ is that education can be fun – it is wine after all!

Contact me to see how learning about Bordeaux wine can motivate your team, seduce your clients, or simply provide a great way to share your love of wine with family and friends.
