The Art, Science and Wine Management Programme takes place in Paris, the French capital of culture, gastronomy, and the art of fine living. French vineyards remain a reference throughout the world, making the French capital the ideal location for in-depth wine studies.
This programme is a partnership with the Georges Chappaz Wine and Vine Institute in Champagne (University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne) and gives students a double diploma:
The Diploma in "Art, Science and Wine Management" delivered by Le Cordon Bleu Paris, opening up to a wide variety of careers in this sector
The "Wine Culture Heritage and Tourism" University Diploma (DU) awarded by the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA)
The Georges Chappaz Wine and Vine Institute in Champagne offers specific training courses, through teaching based on innovative research of international reputation.
By the end of the course, students will be able to draw on multi-disciplinary knowledge of the world of vines and wine, and to understand, analyse and interpret elements of history, geography, law, economics and marketing relating to the sector, the wine industry and wine tourism.
This double degree in wine is taught in English and welcomes students from all over the world. It also opens doors to key professional events in the wine and spirits industry and allows students to expand their professional network.

The Basic Cuisine programme (Basic Certificate) opens the door to the adventures of French cuisine. From day one, you begin to master the basic skills: from how to hold a knife properly, to how to peel vegetables or how to truss a chicken. As the term progresses, techniques are layered on one another, and become more complex. Demonstrations become more menu-oriented, incorporating such elements as organisation, preparation, balance and timing. Students also learn how to use and integrate condiments, herbs and spices into their recipes producing a variety of flavours which complement the dishes prepared. As a solid grounding in basic cuisine, this programme is for beginners and experienced students alike.
