Wine School: Burgundy - A Love Story
Why does Burgundy have such a devoted following? Burgundy has a reputation for being complicated, expensive, and impossible to understand, but we promise it’s worth the love affair. It starts with a fascinating landscape of limestone soils, cool continental climate, rolling hills, and thousands of tiny vineyard parcels that have been carefully mapped and cultivated for centuries. In this class, we’ll break down Burgundy from north to south, talk through its appellations and famous vineyard hierarchy, and explore how Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reflect their individual sites. Burgundy has a reputation for being complicated, expensive, and impossible to understandWe’ll taste four wines (two whites and two reds), to see how dramatically these grapes can express themselves from one village, vineyard, and appellation to the next.

Instructor Bio: Victoria Tuzet
Originally from Montréal, Canada, Victoria recently relocated to the Upper Valley after several years in Southern California. A passionate traveler with a deep curiosity for wine, she plans her adventures around the world’s most celebrated wine regions whenever possible. Her wine travels have taken her through Napa and Sonoma in California; Bordeaux, the Loire Valley, Champagne, Provence, and Alsace in France; Valpolicella and the tiny towns of Tuscany in Italy; Spain’s Rioja and Cava regions; Portugal’s Douro and Porto; and even the volcanic vineyards of the Canary Islands.
Victoria spent four months living in Spain, immersing herself in the local wine culture, and later worked the 2022 harvest in France’s Rhône Valley, assisting with winemaking at an organic and biodynamic estate. She holds her WSET Level 3 Award in Wine and is currently completing the WSET Diploma, with expected graduation in 2026. When she’s not talking terroir or vintages, you’ll likely find her watching documentaries, attempting to bake, or crafting between tastings.
