Wine School: Pop That Bubbly!

Effervescent, elegant, and endlessly festive, sparkling wine is much more than a celebration in a glass. Join us for a guided journey through the world of bubbles as we explore the history, craftsmanship, and global diversity of sparkling wines.

In this class, you’ll learn about the key production methods that bring sparkle to the glass, including both the traditional and tank methods, and how these techniques influence texture, flavor, and aging potential. We’ll examine how different approaches, grape varieties, and regions shape the style and complexity of bubbles. We’ll explore Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, and a New World sparkling wine. You’ll have the opportunity to taste and compare each sparkling wine from different methods while enjoying a bite inspired by a classic regional pairing!

Instructor Bio: Victoria Tuzet

Originally from Montréal, Canada, Victoria recently relocated to the Upper Valley after several years in Southern California. A passionate traveler with a deep curiosity for wine, she plans her adventures around the world’s most celebrated wine regions whenever possible. Her wine travels have taken her through Napa and Sonoma in California; Bordeaux, the Loire Valley, Champagne, Provence, and Alsace in France; Valpolicella and the tiny towns of Tuscany in Italy; Spain’s Rioja and Cava regions; Portugal’s Douro and Porto; and even the volcanic vineyards of the Canary Islands.

Victoria spent four months living in Spain, immersing herself in the local wine culture, and later worked the 2022 harvest in France’s Rhône Valley, assisting with winemaking at an organic and biodynamic estate. She holds her WSET Level 3 Award in Wine and is currently completing the WSET Diploma, with expected graduation in 2026. When she’s not talking terroir or vintages, you’ll likely find her watching documentaries, attempting to bake, or crafting between tastings.
