About

France produces the most famous brandies in the world — Cognac and Armagnac from grapes, and Calvados from apples and pears. Fine brandy is complex and deeply nuanced, and we'll explore different regions and styles, learning about the types of brandy, how they're made, geography, terroir, labeling, and how to serve and enjoy!

A $30 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers everything.
