Wine Styles and Production: 6 Hours $160

How do they get bubbles in champagne? Build on your knowledge of wine-making by continuing on the journey from grape to bottle. Get an in depth look into the three wine styles-still, sparkling and fortified. Understand different fermentation practices, production techniques and regions common to these methods.

Wine Appreciation: 6 Hours $160
