The Art of the Blend – July 13, 2025
A hands-on exploration of the art and science of wine-blending.About this experience
In this seminar, we dive into the art and science behind why winemakers blend wines—and how different varietals can come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. Using classic Bordeaux and Rhône grapes as our foundation, we’ll start by tasting each varietal on its own, getting a feel for its unique characteristics. Then the fun really begins: participants will get hands-on and experiment with their own blends, learning how even small adjustments can shift the balance, flavor, and feel of a wine. It’s a creative, interactive experience that gives you a deeper appreciation for what goes into every carefully crafted bottle.
