Wine Classes, taught by our Winemaking Team
May 7, 2016 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
An event every week that begins at 3:30 pm on Saturday, repeating until August 27, 2016
We’re excited to spend the summer teaching you all about wine! We’re introducing a series of five classes that will be offered every Saturday afternoon. The classes will build on each other, but will also be fun on their own! Throughout all of the classes, you will learn about our Minnesota varietals and walk away with the confidence to talk intelligently about wine, whether it’s a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Frontenac Gris.

Wine Buzz Words: We’ll cover how to describe what you’re tasting. We’ll discuss the buzz words that winemakers are using, why and most importantly, what do they mean?
