Wine Tasting – Thomas Jefferson, Wine Lover and Collector

Thomas Jefferson’s passion for wine began early in his life, but it blossomed during his years in France (1784–1789) as United States Minister. He traveled through Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône, and northern Italy, taking meticulous notes. His journals reveal a striking fact:  many of the wines he admired some 250 years ago are still produced today!

Join WSET-3 Certified Sommelier Philippe Jeanjean in retracing Jefferson’s journey and experiencing his discoveries through a thoughtfully curated selection of  eight wines.  Accompanied by an elegant selection of artisanal cheeses and delightful pâtés, this experience promises a celebration of refined flavors and revolutionary spirit.
