Tasting Evenings

Twice a month, in the evening, AIVA, the International Wine Academy, invites you to its tasting evenings in Landersheim, Alsace, near Strasbourg. From 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm, these themed wine courses, led by the Academy's sommeliers, introduce a selection of wines paired with a gourmet platter—something for everyone, from beginners to connoisseurs.

Immerse yourself in the world of wine

A friendly wine tasting course, for one evening

In an environment conducive to wine discovery, we invite you to share course themed tasting, of 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM at our premises in Landersheim.    

These enriching, interactive, fun and friendly evenings are hosted by the expert sommeliers of the International Wine Academy. You can eat on site, thanks to platters specially prepared according to the wines tasted.

If you are interested in one of our themes and are a group of at least 15 people, you can contact us via our form for a private party (possibility of choosing dates).

Whether you are beginner or wine connoisseur, Let yourself be guided on an exciting journey!

Battle France versus the World: The verdict!

After two fierce battles, we're back for another episode of your France vs. World tasting theme!

Five new wine profiles, five new countries not mentioned in previous tastings!

After New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, Italy, Argentina, the USA, Portugal, Austria, Australia and Belgium (!), and after studying the Sauvignon, Chenin, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese, Malbec, Chardonnay grape varieties, fortified wines, Riesling, Pinot Noir and sparkling wines, what new country, and above all what new types of wine will your oenologist Simon Cadoret manage to pull out of his hat?

The stakes are high, since although the first round ended in a draw, the next saw the victory of international wines over French wines.

Therefore, there is an obligation to achieve results in order to get national wines back on track.

We invite you to join us on June 25th for another travel-themed evening where, once again, you will be the referees!
