Lo que vas a aprender
Wine tasting is easier than you think. In our introductory natural wine classes in Barcelona, we’ll first take you through the process of tasting wine step by step. Then you’ll learn how natural wine differs from other wines, what makes it natural, and why it tastes the way it does. (Fresh, funky, glou glou? Green, reductive, or dare we say, mousy?) In the end, you’ll be ready to hit your favourite natural wine bar in Barcelona, talk to the somms like a seasoned pro and finally tell them why you like that orange wine so much.
Como funciona
Our intensive introduction course is made up of two workshops, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The day includes a guided tasting of a total of 10 natural wines. That way, you drink while you learn, and you learn while you drink. The workshops also include class- and study materials and a tasting notepad.

- Legal definitions, where there are some
- Why should you care if a wine is natural or not?
- Why do natural wines taste like they do?
- Why does everyone love natural wine so much?
AFTERNOON
Acidity? Tannins? Funky? Reductive? Mousy?
- Introduction to the grape
- The process of tasting wine from eyes to nose to mouth
- Technical & metaphorical wine tasting vocabulary
- How can I tell if a wine is natural?
- How do natural wines taste different from other wines?
¿POR QUÉ ES DIFERENTE DE
OTROS CURSOS DE VINO?
Most introductory wine-tasting classes focus on the easy tricks of the conventional wine trade. “How great does that barrel smell?” “Is that peach or apricot?” “And the legs on this baby? Out of this world!”
At Suc Suc, we break it down to the wine in hand. We keep it light-hearted, but we really get into the thick of it.
What the hell is a tannin, and what does it taste like? Is all natural wine organic? What does a mouse have to do with natural wine?
Our goal is for you to put words to what you like so that you feel comfortable tasting wine in your own way.
