WINE SCHOOL: California Dreamin’

This classes focuses on California Wines! We will explore the state's unique terroirs, from the sun-drenched vineyards of Napa Valley to the cooler, misty regions of Sonoma Coast, highlighting how these climates affect grape cultivation and wine flavor profiles. We’ll walk through California’s winemaking history and review the specifics of popular varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. Additionally, we will cover modern sustainable and organic winemaking practices that are increasingly prominent in the California wine industry.

Tickets are not refundable, but they are transferrable.
