About us

The Œnological Association of AgroParisTech

The Œnological Association of AgroParisTech brings together around twenty first- and second-year students from the agronomy engineering program.

Passionate about wine, we organize events to help other students discover the wine world: estate visits and tastings, oenology weekends, and talks led by professionals (sommeliers, wine merchants, etc.).

The year concludes with the AgroTastingChallenge, traditionally held in late April. Preparation takes place throughout the year in collaboration with the champagne house Ruinart.
