Our wine classes cover the basics of wine tasting and wine enjoyment in a casual setting with - lots of wine!
We try different styles, learn about winemaking practices, learn how to decipher wine labels, and adeptly taste and understand what we are tasting!

Each class can be attended independently without the need to have attended the entire series, however each class build on the foundations of the previous class and is designed to make you a well-rounded wine drinker by the end!

$25
Add a cheese board to make it a truly memorable afternoon!

In “The Science of Wine” we actually do SCIENCE experiments to highlight flavor components of wines and use the knowledge to help us understand wine reviews and label descriptions. It’s a perfect class to jumpstart our wine journey.

In “Wine Tasting 101” we taste many wines using the professional step-by-step method. By the end of class you will be a pro at swirling, sniffing, tasting, and recognizing what you are tasting. More than likely you will begin to start swirling all of you beverages from now on!

In “Varietal Face-Off” we taste side-by-side grapes compared to other grapes. Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc. Pinot Noir, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon. What are the differences and can you detect them? By the end of this class you just might be able to!

In “Old World vs. New World” we try the same grapes grown differently. A French Pinot Noir and a Oregon Pinot Noir. What can make them taste so different? We will find out as we compare the old world terroir and winemaking practices to the new world ones!

In “Alternative Wines/Punk/Hardcore” we try some unique wines that maybe you haven’t heard of as well as exploring some winemakers that are ripping up the rules of the winemakers past and paving the way for a new generation.

In “Blind Wine Tasting”the bottles will remain covered and hints and tips(and the vast knowledge that we have gotten over the Summer) will help up figure out what we are tasting! Show off just how smart you have become!!
