Become a wine expert with Le Cordon Bleu Paris oenology programmes 

Oenology programme: Wine Regions & Tasting 

Our Oenology programme is designed for wine enthusiasts who do not necessarily wish to embark upon a career in the field at the moment. This intensive programme lasts 2 weeks. It is taught by professionals who are keen to pass on their passion and expertise in the most educational way possible. Demonstrations and tastings are included in these 2 intensive weeks which are rounded off by a blind tasting. A certificate of participation will be awarded to every participant at the end of the programme.

Cost of the programme: €2,450. This includes registration fees, programme materials, tastings and equipment. At the end of the 2-week programme, participants receive a Le Cordon Bleu institute branded cool bag, tea towel and apron.

To enrol on the intensive oenology programme, you simply need to be at least 18 years old and fluent in French or English. The programme is translated into English for international participants.

Testimonials from former Le Cordon Bleu Paris oenology programme participants 

Jim Vesterman, who took part in the intensive oenology programme in 2022, told us about the wealth of knowledge he received at Le Cordon Bleu Paris:

"I have taken many short wine courses in my life and I learned more in this course than in every other wine course all added together. Clement's knowledge and teaching style are outstanding. He is one of the best teachers that I have had in a long time. [...]".

Anne-Marie Doyle took part in the intensive oenology programme in 2023 and sent us her feedback, particularly focusing on the quality of the teaching:

"Everyone was wonderful. Sandrine Audegond was an exceptional teacher and provided a wealth of knowledge about wine. I learned a great deal in a short time and am very grateful for my experience at Le Cordon Bleu!"
