Travel the world through four of its most celebrated wine regions in this engaging lecture series.

We'll visit Rioja (Spain), Mendoza (Argentina), South Australia, and South Africa, discovering what makes each region unique and why its wines have earned international acclaim. Each class includes a guided tasting of premium wines selected to showcase the distinctive character of the featured region. No prior wine knowledge is required -- just curiosity and a willingness to explore the world one class at a time. There are four sessions: September 13 - Spain, September 20 - Mendoza, September 27 - Australia, October 4 - Africa. All four sessions together is $160. A single session is $50.

Good to know

Before you come.

  • Do I need a ticket or a reservation?

    A reservation isn't required, but it's the only way to be sure of a table. Use Reserve a tasting above to hold one for Sun, Sep 13.

  • What does it cost?

    $50 per guest.

  • Can I bring my kids?

    Sure, as long as they don't use the barrels as bongos. We're family-friendly.

  • Are dogs allowed?

    Yes, if they're cool. If your dog's nicer than most humans — perfect. If not, maybe let them guard the couch instead.

  • What kind of wine do you make?

    Syrah, Malbec, Cab Sauv, Tempranillo, Sauvy B, Chenin Blanc, Rosé, and whatever other rebellious surprises we bottled last.

  • Can I host my event here?

    Heck ya! We love throwing parties. Birthdays, shows, divorces, board meetings — we don't judge. Just know the wine will upstage your PowerPoint.

  • What should I wear?

    Whatever you can spill Syrah on without crying. Although, Lin usually has a Tide Stick in their bag for emergencies. Somm things.

  • Will there be food?

    Yes! We have a fresh food program supplied by The Allium Wood-Fired Pizza, parked right out back. Charcuterie, empanadas, wood-fired pies, pastas, salads, potato-chip pairings, and artisan chocolates. Plan on coming hungry.
