    Join us for Wine Tasting 101, a fun, relaxed, and interactive introduction to tasting wine with confidence. Whether you’re brand new to wine or just want to better understand what you like, this class is designed to help you trust your palate and enjoy the experience.

    During this guided tasting, we’ll walk through the basics of how to look, swirl, smell, sip, and savor wine while exploring five thoughtfully selected wines that showcase a range of styles:

    Albariño – bright, crisp, and refreshing

    Oaked Viognier – aromatic, creamy, and cozy

    Sangiovese – savory, food-friendly, and classic

    Cabernet Sauvignon – bold, structured, and confident

    Sweet Dolcetto – juicy, smooth, and the perfect sweet finish

    You’ll learn:

    How to taste wine without overthinking it

    What actually creates flavor in wine

    How to describe what you’re tasting (in real-life language)

    How to identify your personal wine preferences

    This class is light-hearted, informative, and judgment-free—no wine knowledge required. Expect laughs, great conversation, and a few “aha” moments along the way.

    ✨ Includes:
    ✔️ Guided tasting of 5 wines
    ✔️ Educational instruction in a relaxed setting
    ✔️ Tasting materials and notes
    ✔️ A new level of wine confidence
