An Extreme Wine Experience in the Heart of Provence

Most of us love the idea of learning more about wine.

Even the smallest bit of wine knowledge impresses; it enables party tricks such as tackling a restaurant wine list with confidence or recommending a suitable wine pairing to match to your meal with your friends.

The question is, where to start this educational process?


Does navigating a wine list or timing when to open the bottles in your cellar feel like rolling dice? If so, it’s time to close that “wine gap” in Provence.

Chêne Bleu, a stunning boutique winery in the Rhône Valley, is the backdrop for Extreme Wine, rated by Food & Wine (March 5, 2021) as one of “The Most Extreme Wine Tastings Around the World.” Improve your wine knowledge during a five-day program designed to fast-track wine expertise. An intimate group of participants will gather to taste, learn, and evaluate exclusive global wines in an instructor-led curriculum between September 11-17, 2021.

Writing the Romance in Provence

Chrissie McClatchie

Chrissie McClatchie

Sydney born Chrissie fell in love with the French Riviera at the age of 17, when she embarked on six months of French lessons (and table dancing at the Vieux Nice institution Chez Waynes).

Almost ten years after her first Nice experience, Chrissie returned to Nice for a summer and somewhat fortuitously landed a role with a local company selling fine wine to the superyachts along the coast, which cemented her passion for the fermented grape.

In late 2012 Chrissie started her blog, The Riviera Grapevine, to chronicle the wonderful and little-known local wines and indigenous grapes found along the French and Italian Riviera. Chrissie still works in wine and can often be found enjoying a sneaky Provence rosé at one of the al fresco bars on Nice's Place Garibaldi, or with her nose in her ever-expanding collection of wine literature.
