L'Université du Vin (The University of Wine)Much of your time is spent cooking in the magnificent kitchen at l'Université du Vin. Located in the historic twelfth century Château de Suze-la-Rousse, l'Université du Vin is in the heart of the Rhône Valley in Provence.
Guided by Chef Tom Lee and Michel Receveur, Maitre Cuisinier de France, you cook in a state-of-the-art, fully equipped teaching kitchen with magnificent views of vineyards and the French countryside. You cook on a world-renowned Molteni stove, each one built to the chef's specifications. Culinary School of the Rockies is the only American culinary school to have access to this kitchen.
"Si la Civilisation du Vin mérite d'être chantée et célébrée, encore faut-il transmettre les connaissances qui la constituent à travers de multiples disciplines. Telle est l'ambition de l'Université du Vin."
English Translation: "If we are to celebrate wine, we must also transmit the knowledge across many disciplines. That is the goal of the University of Wine."
