Educational Wine Series - Sweets and Sips

We are kicking off our 2026 Educational Wine Series with Sweets & Sips!
Start the new year on a playful note with Sweets & Sips, a tasting that indulges the art of pairing candies and confections with wine. This class explores the fun—and surprisingly nuanced—world of sweet and semi-sweet wines, from bright Moscato to rich fortified styles. Learn how dessert pairing works, what to look for in matching sugar levels, and the classic “dos and don’ts” when pairing sweet treats with wine. Along the way, we’ll touch on how sweetness is created in different wine styles, the techniques behind late-harvest, botrytized, and fortified wines. Expect a lighthearted tasting that still delivers solid education about flavor balance, texture, and the role of sweetness in both wine and food.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
