History
A brief overview of Art and Wine events and the career of its founder Frédéric Azema.
Born in the south of France, Frédéric Azema’s “thirst” for life and discovery brought him to Paris as soon as he obtained his economics degree. In Paris, he could give free rein to his passionate love of the good things in life and his desire to meet people.
The hotel and restaurant business provided the perfect springboard for him to develop a discerning taste, palate and nose for what was to become his passion – wine.
Paris inspired the ever-curious Frédéric Azema to set up his special events company in 2005: “Frédéric Azema, the Art of Wine – Paris”.
Paris, City of light, City of art, luxury and elegance gave him with the ideal setting for the events he enjoys organizing around the history of art and wine.
Thanks to his gift for language, Frédéric offers his guests an unusual and entertaining journey into the world of wine and its history through an artistic approach which can include a temporary exhibition or the permanent collection of a French or foreign museum.
It is a unique, magical moment combining French expertise and savoir vivre, a passion for wine and the knowledge of art.
