Wine School July 23rd: Wine 101

  • Putnam's vine/yard 188 South Main Street Hartford, VT, 05001 United States (map)

The Wine 101 class is the perfect starting point for diving into the wonderful world of wine, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your skills to the next level! In this hands-on, approachable class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of wine tasting, including the art of identifying aromas, flavors, and textures, all while sampling a variety of grape varietals and styles from around the globe. From bold reds to crisp whites and everything in between, you’ll start to connect the dots between what’s in your glass and where it came from.

We’ll also discuss essential knowledge beyond tasting, including how to properly store and serve wine, why the shape of your glass matters, and how to identify key wine components such as tannins, body, and acidity. Plus, you’ll learn which foods are friends and foes of wine with guided tasting activities!

Expect plenty of sips, lots of “aha” moments, and a laid-back atmosphere where no question is too basic. Whether you're here to build your wine confidence or just want to drink something delicious while learning a thing or two, this is your class! Come curious and leave with a new favorite wine (or three)!
