Program Description:

The Program

UW-Stout students have an opportunity to gain international experience studying wine and food pairing in France. The course is designed to teach students the Wine & Food Pairing applied approach in matching wine and food from France and the U.S. Students will use flavors, textures, and components present in food and wine as complimenting strategies. There will be an emphasis on menu planning, food preparations, cooking methods, and tasting wines with food in a formal dining room.
