What do we mean by the "Old Old World"? We mean the countries where the very first wines were made! We'll be tasting indigenous varieties (gapes that first originated from these countries) while you learn all about how wine first came to be and how far it has come.
Each wine tasting will be segmented by country on the dates below and hosted Virtually over Zoom :
Slovenia - April 2nd, 6pm PST
Armenia - April 16th, 6pm PST
Georgia - April 30th, 6pm PST
Hungary - May 14th, 6pm PST (ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT)
You can select to participate in 1, 2, 3, or all 4 classes, we are offering discounted rates that increase as you purchase more classes and all wines that you select will be shipped together at the same time the week of March 29th. Make your selection in the drop down and check off the countries that you would like to explore. Please note that we will be doing these classes in a specific order, so select the classes that you know you will be able to participate in based on their corresponding dates.
If you want to participate in all 4 classes please purchase your bundle before March 29th!
***Note which countries you would like to taste along with us in the "Order Notes" section in check out***
