The prestigious Hautes Études du Goût (Advanced Studies in Taste, Gastronomy and the Art of Fine Dining) programme involves spending one week at Le Cordon Bleu Paris and one week in Reims, Champagne, experiencing food and wine pairing dinners, lectures and workshops by renowned French academics, the likes of renowned scientist and forefather of molecular gastronomy, Hervé This. Students will also be led on excursions to food markets and Champagne houses to experience food and wine from start to finish. Upon successful completion of the study program (including the final essay and written assessment), students will be awarded the D.U.G.G.A.T (Diplôme Universitaire du Goût, de la Gastronomie et des Arts de la Table), an official diploma delivered by the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne.
