Wine School: Alsace Aromatic

This class will be a deep dive into one of France’s most expressive and food-centric wine regions, shaped as much by geopolitics as by geology. Tucked along the Rhine river, Alsace has shifted between French and German control for centuries, a history that shows up clearly in its wines and cuisine, with a strong emphasis on single-varietal expressions and food at the table.

We’ll be sipping through the Alsatian noble grapes including: Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris and finishing off with a traditional-method Crémant d’Alsace. Each wine will be paired with classic Alsatian nibbles, revealing how history, technique, and noble grapes combine to create one of France’s most distinctive wine cultures.

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.
