About this Event

Journey to the sunny vineyards of the south Mediterranean in this immersive tasting class exploring the bold, beautiful wines of southern Italy. These southern regions are rich with ancient grape varieties, volcanic soils, and deep cultural traditions that shine through in every glass. From the smoky reds of Mount Etna to the spicy Primitivo of Puglia, we’ll taste and learn our way through a diverse and delicious southern Italian lineup. Whether you’re discovering these wines for the first time or deepening a lifelong love of Italian wine, this class is a vibrant celebration of the South.

Limited to only ten students, we will taste six wines with bread, cheese, olives, and more.
