Our classes are structured similar to levels. Each individual class is placed into a “level” based on expected previous knowledge, depth of the topic, & associated wine tasting

Class Descriptions

While we may recommend a certain level - every class is inclusive and welcoming.

We also offer WSET Levels 1-3 in Wine

Vineyard Classes

1 hr | $25+

The vineyard is where it all starts so think of this as Wine 101. In these classes we will explore the world’s most planted grape varieties, wine producing countries, the basics of tasting, how to find your wine style, and how to expand your palate from there. We recommend Vineyard classes to those just starting their wine education journey or those looking to refresh their knowledge on major regions & varieties.

Winery Classes

90 min | $40+

From the vineyard and into the winery. These classes will start going deeper into concepts including terroir, winemaking practices, global wine regions, determining quality & value, how to talk like a sommelier, and blind tasting. We recommend Winery classes to those who have a good base knowledge on wine grapes & regions as an enthusiast, collector, or industry professional. But all are welcome.

Cellar Classes

2 hrs | $50+

Some wine tastes best with a little more time. These classes will let you “nerd out” and expand your palate with indigenous varieties, smaller appellations, soil types, esoteric producers, traditional vs modern production, and more. We recommend Cellar classes to industry professionals and “hardcore enthusiasts” who have previous knowledge of terroir, viticulture, & vinification. As always, these are open to all.

Masterclasses

Time, Price, & Tasting Varies

Masterclasses will take many different forms. They could be a panel discussion about the wine industry, an in-depth look at a specific region | grape | producer, blind tasting with a Master Sommelier (or candidate), or anything else we just find “cool”. We already have a list of guest speakers & instructors lined up. Be excited - you’re not going to get this anywhere else.
