Explore the fundamentals of wine from cultivation through final consumption in this two-hour introductory class.
Find answers to the questions you have long wondered about and develop a solid foundation in wine appreciation with our Wine 101 course. You will learn how wine is produced, how to interpret and understand wine labels, develop essential wine tasting and discussion skills, familiarize yourself with important grape varieties and wine styles, and gain knowledge about purchasing wine, proper storage techniques, correct service methods, and food pairing principles.
The tasting component features six carefully selected wines that highlight the key structural elements of wine, showcase various wine styles, and represent major grape varieties from different regions.
