Pair Wine with Your Dishes - St Barthelemy Villas

Discover the art of wine pairing as your chef or butler leads you through methods of matching food with the perfect wine.

Wine pairing can elevate a meal from a delicious dish to a fine dining experience.

With the guidance of your private butler or chef, you’ll learn how flavours interact, how textures are balanced, and how a thoughtful pairing can turn a simple meal into a stimulating affair.

Whether it’s champagne with canapés, a crisp white with scallops with citrus glaze, or a bold red with a dry-aged ribeye steak, every lesson leaves you with the tools to turn every meal into a harmony of flavours.

Learn the Secrets of Wine Pairing

In this private class, your chef introduces you to the fundamentals of wine pairing in a way that’s approachable and engaging.

You’ll explore how acidity cuts through richness, how tannins complement proteins, and how sweetness can soften spice.

Together, you’ll taste, compare, and experiment with wine. You’ll discover why some wines bring out the best in certain dishes.

Imagine discovering how a glass of Sancerre transforms a delicate lobster dish. Or, how a Burgundy Pinot Noir enhances the flavours of duck. Perhaps you’ll taste the joy of a tropical-style dessert paired with a late-harvest wine or champagne cocktails.

Each pairing is designed to teach, inspire, and delight your senses.

Every Villa Detail, Perfectly Paired

Your butler ensures that your atmosphere matches the sophistication of the lesson. Glassware is polished, bottles are chilled to perfection, and the table is set with elegance. Under the stars on your terrace or indoors with soft music, every detail is arranged so you can focus on savouring each sip and bite.

The beauty of learning wine pairing in your villa is that it’s both educational and celebratory.

Whether it’s a romantic dinner, a gathering of friends, or a special occasion, these sessions can create warm memories while also giving you skills you’ll carry long after your stay.
