ITALIAN CULTURAL WINE TASTING CLASS
One of the most fun and enjoyable way to practice your Italian !
WHAT THEY SAY:
I enjoy wine - especially Italian wine - so participating in Stefania's Italian Cultural Wine Tasting was an easy decision! We get to learn about our favorite wines and with literally hundreds (thousands?) of Italian wines to choose from, every wine tasting is a new adventure where we bring "Il Bel Paese" to us!

REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT : not later than one week before the class to guarantee your spot.
PLEASE FILL THE REGISTRATION FORM BELOW
PARTICIPANTS: MIN 3 MAX 8 PEOPLE (your partners or family members can attend for free)
DURATION: 1 hour (or 1 and half hour if more than 3 participants)
WHO CAN ATTEND: Students of Beginner (A1 - 2), Elementary (A2) , Intermediate (B1), Advance (B2-C1) level.
HOW IT WORKS: each student has to choose and buy an Italian Wine and will introduce their chosen wine in Italian by filling the “Scheda del vino” : its characteristic, the region , the vineyard , why they would recommend, etc….
Questions/answers from students will follow. Each student will present each time a wine from a different Italian Region. Before the class each student has to inform the teacher the wine they have chosen so as she can integrate with more information (in Italian or English) , suggestions , questions, etc… We will toast and drink together !
RULES: This is not only an entertaining workshop but also a way to improve your Italian . Therefore, you are not allowed to “copy -paste” information in Italian to describe your chosen wine, to use Google translate, etc. This is not a “lecture” but a “presentation” . This means you have to talk about the wine you have selected by using your complete sentences and you only need the “Scheda del Vino”as a reference to create sentences and summarize the presentation . Beginner students can formulate very simple sentences based on their level.
CANCELLATION: if you cannot attend the class and need to cancel at the last moment, you can certainly attend another class only if there are seats available.
WHY: a nice and fun way to get together, to share a wine experience and Italian memories, to learn and practice la Bella Lingua and above all: not to feel lonely!
There is a saying in Italy
”Chi non beve in compagnia o e’ un ladro o e’ una spia”
