Autumnal Wine and Cheese Night + Plant Potting

On the sweetest corner in Williamsburg, join owner of Perennials and sommelier Alison with Certified Cheese Professional and founder of Trust Your Taste Anne-Marie Pietersma in an evening of wine, cheese, and plants.

This unique hands-on class begins with selecting your own plant and 4" vessel to pot and take home. Alison will go over how to correctly pot and re-pot plants, how the change in seasons affects the care of your house plants, and how to choose the right plants for your home and lifestyle.

Your newfound potting skills will then be rewarded as you sit back and taste four wines, and four artisanal cheeses. Alison and Anne-Marie will go over what is so special about each wine and cheese, pairing principles, and how to learn what you like (and don't like).

What your ticket includes:

• 4 wines
• 4 cheeses
• Accoutrements for pairing and palate cleansing (bread, olives, and some seasonal treats)
• Plant potting instruction
• A take home plant and 4" pot of your choice (valued at $40 minimum)
• 30+ years of collective expertise in wine and cheese
• 1.5 hour tasting
• Expert plant advice
• A dreamy fall evening
