Take the mystery out of wine—learn the stories, the grapes, and sip at the end.

Understanding Wine is a relaxed, small-group wine classes that takes the mystery (and intimidation) out of wine.

In each session, we dive into the stories, terroir, and larger-than-life personalities that helped shape the wine world, with a spotlight on a few wine varietals per class.

Enrollment is intentionally limited, making it easy to ask questions, share impressions, and learn together.

We wrap things up with a fun, informal open and blind tasting that lets you put your new knowledge into practice—no prior expertise required, just curiosity and a sense of adventure.
