Experience, Learn, and Live the Spirit of French Wine
France is the heart of the wine world — a country where centuries of tradition meet innovation and artistry.
At WSA Bangkok, our Wine Tour in France isn’t a typical sightseeing trip. It’s a carefully curated educational journey that connects you directly with the vineyards, winemakers, and culture that shape the world’s most celebrated wines.
Learn from the Source
Every French wine tells a story — of soil, climate, and human dedication.
During this immersive program, you’ll:
- Visit iconic wine regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and the Rhône Valley.
- Meet renowned producers and cellar masters who share their philosophy and winemaking process.
- Discover how terroir and craftsmanship work together to create signature styles unique to each region.
Through these personal encounters, every vineyard becomes a classroom, and every conversation turns into a new insight about the artistry behind fine wine.
Hands-On Exploration
Our wine tour goes beyond observation — it’s a journey of active learning.
You’ll engage in a series of workshops and tastings designed to strengthen your practical understanding of wine and service:
- Professional Tastings guided by local experts
- Workshops on blending, labeling, and wine aging
- Culinary Pairing Sessions celebrating French regional cuisine
By experiencing these elements firsthand, participants gain the ability to interpret wine with confidence — not just taste it.
