French Wine x Whisky Seminar & Tasting

French Wine × Whisky — Terroir Meets Maturation

Discover how French wines and wine-cask maturation influence the character of Scotch whisky.

Join Crispin's Selection® for an educational evening at the Zürich Wine Academy, exploring the fascinating relationship between French winemaking traditions and Scotch whisky maturation.

Through structured presentations and guided comparative tastings, we'll examine how different wine styles, oak casks and maturation techniques contribute to a whisky's aroma, flavour and texture.

What to expect

• Three French wines and six Scotch whiskies, explored through three carefully curated comparative tasting sessions.
• Understand the fundamentals of whisky maturation, cask influence and sensory perception.
• Learn from two presenters bringing complementary expertise in wine and whisky.
• Exchange observations and meet fellow wine and whisky enthusiasts in a relaxed educational setting.

Whether you're a curious beginner or an experienced enthusiast, this seminar offers a structured opportunity to deepen your understanding of wine and whisky.
