Covid-19 has changed our lives but this doesn’t mean that we cannot have fun tasting amazing wines from the confort of our home!
In an attempt to keep us safe and keep us sane, I have selected three exceptional wines from Kairos Products, a boutique wine merchant who stocks excellent organic and biodynamic wines from France, Spain and Switzerland for us to taste.
Join me and many more others in a super fun and safe 😉online tasting of the wines of three iconic wine makers from the comfort of your home.
In order to secure the timely delivery of the wines to your door the deadline for RSVP’s is Sunday 29th March.
For more information and to reserve your place please message Geneva Wine Society directly on Instagram or email us at genevawinesociety@gmail.com and info@genevawinesociety.com
Let’s all stay home and have fun while doing that. Cheers 🍷

The exhibition is dedicated to the works of the most prolific member of the “Boissonnas dynasty”, Fred Boissonnas (1858 – 1946). It sheds light on a whole aspect of his career that is both underappreciated and crucial: his journeys on the Mediterranean Sea, which he spent the first three decades of the 20th century roaming in search of light, of the Great Greece and free Egypt, of Homeric settings and Biblical landscapes.
Most of his photographs, presented here for the first time, are part of bequeathed collections now owned by the Bibliothèque de Genève. Both poetic and mesmerising, this exhibition also attempts to provide insight into the ambivalent and passionate relationship between Europe and the Mediterranean.

There will be food stands, but picnics are welcome. A “garderie” (payment by donation) will allow parents to visit the stands and attend presentations while their children play.
The entire event will be no-smoking so that you and your children can breathe easy!

In this scientifically based course participants acquire knowledge and learn to detect signs of mental health distress in 7, 2-hour online modules (14 hours).
