Join us for a unique Spanish wine experience offering an indulgence in aromas and flavors as you sip your way through Spain. Travel through your senses tasting 10 wines from various parts of Spain and enjoy learning about the indigenous red and white varietals which offer such a plethora of styles.

We will taste wines from Spain’s key regions and varietals, ranging from aromatic white wines, to fresh rosés and the various wine styles of red wine and finish our journey with an exquisite dessert wine. All accompanied with artisanal cheeses from Despaña.

With a heritage of over three thousand years there's evidence to prove that vines were planted in the Peninsula long before the Phoenicians founded Cadiz and established it as a trading post. Wines from along the sunny Mediterranean coast all the way to the cooler Atlantic coast were traded and consumed by the Romans.

Come join us for a historical tasting-tour of Spain.

The event will be presented by April Cullom, a winemaker in Spain as well as a Certified Spanish Wine Educator by the Wine Academy of Spain. April commutes between Spain and New York and is thrilled to be able to discuss her love of Spanish wines. And our resident wine expert Robin Kelley O'Connor will be assisting April and also contributing to the discussion.
