At French Library

Celebrate the spirit of summer on both sides of the Atlantic with a curated wine tasting inspired by the traditions of Bastille Day and the Fourth of July.

This seminar explores the wines of France and the United States through a comparative lens, highlighting how history, terroir, and cultural identity shape each country’s approach to winemaking. Through thoughtfully paired selections, guests will discover both the contrasts and connections between classic French regions and their American counterparts.

Framed as a dialogue rather than a competition, this experience offers a nuanced and engaging perspective on two great wine traditions—set within a season that celebrates independence, expression, and shared moments at the table.

All our wine seminars are presented in English.
Seats are limited for an intimate experience.
Reserving your spot early is strongly encouraged.
