The wine-centric trip involves six days each in Bordeaux and Burgundy, the holy grail of wine regions. The winner will be exposed to harvesting grapes that make the world's most famous wines and will get to experience vinification with a range of reputable wine producers. It won't all be work, though. There will be plenty of time doing what the French do best: enjoying life, eating and drinking, with a special focus on all things local. Plus, an essential stopover in Paris will span two days of more epicurean heaven, where they will visit gourmet markets, fine wine shops and eat at the city's bustling bistros and brasseries.
Master of Wine and Wines of France spokesperson, Sheri Sauter Morano, has spent time in both Burgundy and Bordeaux and is a huge supporter of French wines. She says, "This is the chance of a lifetime. France is home to some of the best wines in the world and to equally amazing food. Experiencing French winemaking firsthand will not only provide a great learning experience, but a very delicious one at that."
