Between Mountains & Tradition: The Wines of Jura

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

Perfect for adventurous drinkers, Francophiles, and anyone drawn to wines with precision, character, and a strong sense of place.

Nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland, Jura produces some of France’s most distinctive and quietly compelling wines. This class explores the region’s range of styles, from fresh, mineral-driven whites to textured, site-expressive bottlings shaped by cool climate and limestone soils. Through guided tasting, we’ll unpack Jura’s grapes, growing conditions, and winemaking traditions, focusing on how place and philosophy influence structure, aromatics, and longevity. Expect thoughtful discussion, comparative tasting, and a deeper understanding of why Jura continues to attract devoted fans despite (or because of) its unconventional identity.
