From Grapes To Glass: Understanding Grape Types
Regular price $229.00
Grapes to Glass: Understanding Grape Varieties is a series of 2 classes that will give you a more in-depth look at both familiar and new grape varieties. We will go over white and red grape varieties, the regions where the grapes are grown, and what wine they produce. In this class, like in all our classes, we use our “Wine Made Fun” approach, which will allow you to learn all about this magical beverage in a comfortable, interactive, and no judgmental environment.
Each class is 75-90 minutes in length, and the cost of the course is $229 for the two class sessions. These classes are live, instructor-led classes on Zoom. There is a 30-student limit for each class.
This course will be split up into two different classes over a two-week period on consecutive weeknights, with one class each week – always at 7pm and always on Zoom.
Purchase of this course includes:
- Access to our Thinkific platform & Zoom links for your instructor-led classes
- Two student packets (one for each class) chock full of information and tools to assist in learning during the course and to serve as a resource afterwards
