Rhône Wine Study Workbook

Put the Rhône’s wine regions in place, then practise explaining what makes their wines different. Study a labelled map, cover it, recall the names and use the explanations to work through your mistakes.

What you receive

  • 18 core pages, with three labelled reference maps and three matching recall maps.
  • 20 original questions, one worked example and comparison activities, with answer explanations.
  • Four PDF editions with the same 18 pages: A4 colour, A4 low ink, US Letter colour and US Letter low ink.
  • A ZIP file with a short study guide, print instructions, the personal-study licence and clickable sources.
  • An A4 regional reference supplement: Northern Rhône and Southern Rhône reference sheets in colour and low ink, with source notes. These sit outside the 18 core pages.

Core edition 0.7, 12 October 2026. Regional reference supplement 1.0, 14 October 2026. English.

What it covers

Eleven named crus: Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Cornas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Lirac and Tavel. Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages give regional context. The three map plates show real river courses, town anchors, generalised eligible-parcel coverage and a close-up around Hermitage that separates the broader Hermitage geographical area from its eligible parcels.

The maps do not show actual planted vines and are not legal plans or navigation maps. The A4 reference supplement also covers Château-Grillet and Saint-Péray. Fortified wines are not included.

How to use it

Choose the PDF for your paper size and printer and print at actual size. Study a reference map, then cover it and attempt the matching recall page. Check your answer, write a correction and come back to anything uncertain a few days later. Each recall sheet has space for a first attempt and a retry score. On screen, PDF bookmarks and page links move you between maps, practice and answer guides.

Choose the workbook for the broader study sequence. The map practice pack is already included in it, so buying both duplicates that material. The standalone Northern Rhône and Southern Rhône study maps repeat the same A4 reference content and add A3 display editions and optional practice.

Only want the map practice? The eight-page Rhône Wine Map Practice Pack is an extract of this workbook.

Who it suits

Wine learners who already know basic grape and wine-style vocabulary and want focused map, recall and explanation practice. Use it alongside your course or a trusted reference. It is an independent study aid, not a complete course or an official assessment. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by WSET.

How it was made

The maps are original vector cartography using INAO open geodata (5 October 2026), IGN/OFB BD TOPAGE river data and cited town coordinates. Source licences and dates are included with the files. AI tools assisted with the text and the illustrative vineyard artwork. Vineyard scenes are illustrations, not photographs of named estates.
