    SPEAKER: Mark Shipway

    The Bourgogne Wine Board (BIVB) invites you to uncover a deeper story, one that goes beyond the region’s iconic appellations to explore the hidden treasures that truly reflect Bourgogne’s remarkable diversity. This master class is an opportunity to step off the beaten path and discover the lesser-known appellations at the heart of this historic region.

    Join Mark Shipway, a highly experienced wine professional and official Bourgogne Wines Ambassador, for an immersive training session that brings this story to life. Mark’s passion lies in helping industry professionals deepen their understanding of the great diversity of Bourgogne wines.

    A curated selection of 8 appellations will be showcased, combining wines available on the Canadian market with exclusive discoveries shipped directly from Bourgogne, offering valuable insights into the unique strengths these appellations can bring to your portfolio.
