Wine Tasting 101 (Gibsons) - Aug. 28th

CA$95.00

It Tastes like Grapes: Wine Tasting 101 on the sunshine coast!

So much of what we get excited about at wine school is the story behind the wine, but what about the wine the glass? If you’re feeling intimidated by fancy wine-speak about tannins, acidity, and the dreaded mention of “the legs,” then this is the class for you.

Join us for a full A-Z of wine tasting so we can finally match that “je ne sais quoi” of your favourite sips with a word or sensation!

This class will teach you to explore your own palate, differentiate between aromas and explore different flavours, and learn the basic structure inherent in wine. We’ll taste a few benchmark examples of classic flavours and structures and arm you with some serious terminology to use at the wine shop or at the table to order wine with cool + collected confidence.

This is a two-hour class from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm on Thursday, August 28th, 2025

Location: Shady Hazel Farm (805 Payne Rd, Gibsons, BC)

Must be 19+
