Introduction to Wine Tasting
Let's demystify wine! We'll be exploring how and why we taste wine, as well as what goes into making wine taste the way it does. We'll also discuss how to serve wine and how to pair it with food.About this experience
This class is all about helping you get to know your own palate and figuring out what you actually like in a glass of wine. We’ll walk you through the hows and whys of wine-tasting in a way that makes sense—and demystify some jargon to boot—and break down what things like acidity, tannin, and body really mean. Along the way, we’ll also discuss how wine is made (and what that means for how it tastes), how to serve it so it tastes its best, and how to pair it with food to make any meal more enjoyable. Whether you’re a total beginner or just looking to learn a little more, this class is a fun, hands-on way to boost your wine confidence.
