My favorite class and my recommendation to you to be the first class you take…

Wine Decoded: A sensory analysis of wine

$65 per person

In this class we teach you to taste wine like the pro’s do. Test your abilities by playing our blind tasting game! We first teach you to taste wine using all your senses and then allow you to experience the aromas and flavors found in 5 different wines. We then turn you loose to use what you’ve learned to test your skills. This is a two hour class. This class is best with a group of 10-25 people.

I offer classes on anything to do with wine! Let me know what you would like to learn about and I will plan a class just for you and your group. Please contact me for a price quote for your group.
