Masterclass Series: From Colony To Cork

Cost: $50

Step back in time and uncover the fascinating story of American wine’s beginnings—from colonial experimentation to the brink of Prohibition. Explore the early struggles to cultivate European grape varieties, the immigrant winemakers who helped launch the nation’s first successful wineries, and the dramatic challenges that nearly brought the industry to its knees, including the devastating phylloxera epidemic and the powerful rise of the Temperance movement. 

 

This class includes expert instruction and a guided tasting of four wines favored by U.S. presidents, inviting you to sip through history while discovering the resilience, innovation, and reinvention that helped shape American wine.
