Join us for a three-session series focused on the city of Bordeaux and the nearby department of Dordogne.

Taking place on January 14, 21, and 28 at 5:30 p.m. at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, these classes will feature cultural presentations, wine tastings, and small plates.  Classes will be in English and last approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Each Fall and Spring we feature a series of lectures on a region of the Francophonie. All lectures are conducted in English. These classes feature:

  • engaging lectures by experts in their field

  • wine and food tastings to complement the lectures

  • community with other Francophiles

For the January 2025 VLF, experts Margene Minor and Marc Witham will present wines and sprits of Bordeaux and Dordogne at each class with selections from the Wine Seller (5000 Prytania Street).

Each class will also feature small plates of delicious cuisine of the region.

Our culture classes take place in uptown New Orleans, at the Academy of Sacred Heart located at 4521 St. Charles Avenue, enter at the second floor dining room from Carondelet St. under the bridge.
