You never know everything there is to know
Wine is a complex drink. As a provider of fine wines from around the world at prices you can afford, the Ideal Wine Company has come to realise that you never know everything there is to know about wine.

There’s always something new to learn. There’s always some upcoming wine region to explore, stunning emerging vintage to sample or innovative new viticulture technique to comprehend. Therefore we were excited to hear about the opening of a new wine academy.

Belmond open fine wine academy
According to Breaking Travel News, luxury travel operator Belmond has decided to open a new fine wine academy. The feature will be available to guests travelling exclusively on Belmond in France’s fleet of first-rate barges in Burgundy.

Specifically the academy will be made available to charter groups measuring four travellers or more, who have booked any cruise aboard four Belmond ships going along various routes. These ships are the Belmond Afloat, Belmond Fleur de Lys, Belmond Hirondelle and Belmond Amaryllis.

What will be included in Belmond’s wine academy?
Travellers aboard these ships are in for a fantastic experience. Breaking Travel News reported that the Academy, which can be added to a bespoke itinerary, includes several amazing activities.

The event will be centred on an immersive programme of talks designed to inspire the exploration of Burgundy and it’s most precious asset; wine. The talks are set to be headed by Pascal Wagner, a wine master and the company in France’s resident wine expert. Other activities offered with the academy include Cremant tasting and an optional hot-air balloon ride which carries guests over 230 hectares of the finest vineyards Burgundy has to offer.
