Who It’s For: Curious drinkers, collectors, and anyone who has worked their way through the standards and is ready for what comes next.
Aperitif culture has been built around one idea for centuries: a drink that wakes up the palate and gets you ready to eat. Europe has been refining this ritual for generations. Most Americans skip straight to the meal.
This class walks through the wine and spirit side of the aperitif world together. Champagne and other sparklers, dry sherry, vermouth, bitter Italian aperitivi, French quinquinas, and a few lower-proof spirits built for the same moment. We taste them on their own and talk about what each one does to your appetite and why.
