Summer Berries & Viognier

What if one bottle of Washington wine was all you needed to create a memorable summer evening for friends and family?
About this Event

Join Experience 46 Degrees at Market Vineyards for a relaxed and interactive evening inspired by the simple pleasure of gathering around good food, good wine, and seasonal ingredients.

Together, we'll explore how a single Viognier/Roussanne blend can carry an entire three-course menu—from a refreshing first course to an elegant dessert—while learning practical entertaining skills you can use again and again at home.

This isn't a lecture-style wine class filled with intimidating tasting notes or complicated wine terminology. Instead, you'll learn through tasting, creating, and experiencing firsthand how sweet fruit, creamy cheeses, fresh herbs, and a touch of honey can completely transform the character of a wine.

Whether you're planning a backyard dinner, patio brunch, date night, or an evening with friends, you'll leave with recipes, pairing ideas, and the confidence to recreate this beautiful summer menu on your own.

The Menu
Watermelon, Blueberry, Feta & Mint Salad

Watch a quick live demonstration showing how sweet fruit, salty cheese, and fresh herbs brighten aromatic white wines and create a refreshing first course perfect for summer entertaining.

Blackberry, Brie & Arugula Flatbread with Hot Honey (Hands-On Experience)

Roll up your sleeves and create your own flatbread using creamy brie, juicy blackberries, peppery arugula, and hot honey before discovering how these flavors interact with the floral aromas and rich texture of Viognier/Roussanne.

Honey Mascarpone Cream Cups with Blackberries & Almond Crunch

Enjoy an elegant make-ahead dessert that demonstrates how cream, honey, and fruit can pair beautifully with white wine—proving that red wine isn't the only option for dessert.
