Feeling the winter blahs starting to set in? It's time to get fortified! This sensory excursion will guide you through comparing and contrasting 6 fortified wines, including Port, Sherry, Madeira, & more from Portugal, Spain, and right here in Virginia.

Along the way, you’ll learn about the history and production methods of each one, gaining insights into what makes fortified wine so special - and popular - across the globe.
