Wine Tasting & Pairing Package

We will help to put together a group of four if you do not have four people already.  If you have less than four, we can create a wait list for you as we await more enrollees.  The first step is to call us and let us know of your interest!

• Spend up to four hours learning and having fun!
• Learn how to read wine labels, extracting details many people miss.
• Introduction into the basic principles of wine production from vine to bottle!
• Examine the “Big Six” wines.  Sample them!
• Properly evaluate wine through sniffing, swirling, tasting.
• Examine global aspects of wine from color to aroma and more.
• Judge differences of wine characteristics including aroma and body.
• Enjoy learning surprising pairings of certain wines and specific foods.
• From “New World” wines to “Old World” wines, this class is inclusive of major aspects of wine enjoyment.

This class available to those who have first attended our Wonderful World of Wine 101 class.

• Like the 101 classes, this is an exclusive experience…we limit the number of participants.
• Based upon your understanding of wines gleaned from our Wine 101 classes, you now move on to basic wine pairing and putting a variety of wines into tests with a selection of foods.
• During the tests, each class participant will rate a selection of wines exploring how they pair with a spectrum of foods.  Some you will rate “neutral” and others will go above or below that line.  We will chart the results in true “test kitchen” examination.
• The pairing will include a variety of main course and appetizer foods, both hot and cold.
• Unlike some “wine dinners” where pairings are described, our test kitchen approach to wines and a broad range of foods gives the student a much broader scope of experiential knowledge.  For example, instead of learning the results of pairing a particular wine with one entre, you will experience a variety of wines with not one entre sample but many.

This cross-section of flavors, nationalities, environments, grape varieties and other factors will give you a new depth of knowledge and experience.

You’ll then be ready for Wonderful World of Wine 301, planned for late 2022.  So you have plenty of time before that class…plenty of time to get real world experience and expertise via our 101 and 201 classes.

Wonderful World of Wine 201:  Per Person:  $185 each   (Plus Room Rate based upon 1-2 occupants)

3.
