Wine schools EU

[cmben]

A restaurant owner in Mexico asked me for recommendations for wine education in the EU. He wants to get a basic understanding in one to two weeks. His family is Belgian, but he can go to France or Italy. All I know is the Spurrier schools in Paris & Rome. Any suggestions? He will be in Europe in May-June.

WSET offers courses in Belgium and France. Their web site lists a few schools where the courses are offered -- these schools may also offer other courses.

If he's interested in Bordeaux in particular:

There's the Château Preuillac school. Richard Bampfield MW teaches there - so it should be good.

There's also an ecole du vin in Bordeaux as well which offers all sorts of courses.

[NB I'm not a huge "flag-waving" Bordeaux lover, but I happen to have been there for wine-tasting stuff fairly recently...]

However, if he's in Belgium it may be easier for him to get to Paris!!

A WSET courses are longer than two weeks and are also available in Barcelon and Madrid.
