Washington DC Welcome To WIne School | Guided Sommelier Experience

Join us for a guided wine tasting in Washington, DC led by Certified Sommelier Gary Russell. This intimate tasting features 8 wines — 2 sparkling, 3 whites, and 3 reds — from France, Italy, and Australia, including Special Club Champagne and a classic Bordeaux.

Hosted by Welcome to Wine School, this January 17 Washington, DC wine tasting focuses on winter-ready wines that are expressive, comforting, and meant to be enjoyed without intimidation or pretense.

This isn’t a lecture — and it’s definitely not a wine “class” where you’re worried about getting the answers right.

Instead, expect:

• Clear, engaging storytelling
• Practical insight you can actually use
• A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere
• Wines chosen for both quality and approachability

Whether you’re just beginning your wine journey or already love exploring new bottles, this experience is built to meet you where you are — and maybe help you see wine (and your own curiosity) a little differently.

Limited seating keeps the experience personal and conversational.

If you’ve been curious about Welcome to Wine School, this is a great place to start.
