A tasting with Xavier Bassa and a selection of Juvé & Camps sparkling wines
SATURDAY, APRIL 17 · 11:00 AM
Espiells Estate · Approximate duration: 3 hours. Guided tour of Finca Espiells included.
The delicacy of foie gras is discovered in its texture, its aromas, and the way it is accompanied. Hand in hand with sommelier Xavier Bassa, we invite you to explore its pairing possibilities in a tasting of six creations with foie gras and other duck specialties.
A tasting to discover, learn, and enjoy
During the gathering, you will learn about the origin and history of foie gras, learn to distinguish preparations such as fresh, mi-cuit, bloc, and parfait, and discover what each wine brings to the tasting. A participatory experience to refine your palate and take new ideas to your own table.
