Join our Wine Director and Sommelier Erin Dudley for an intro class into the world of wine with a tasting of six classic wine styles.

Let’s face it, the wine community can get snobby. Sometimes, what’s meant to be a fun activity of tasting wines with your friends can turn into a boring or embarrassing experience full of pretentious descriptions and long lectures, making finding your favorite wine style seem like a chore. The Planet Wine Team is here to help.

Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will go over the basics of tasting wine and guide you through a tasting of six of the world’s most popular wine styles. At this class, our Wine Director, Erin Dudley, will start to demystify the world of wine and answer any and all questions with zero judgment. She believes that wine should be fun, and she’s excited to share it with you!

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with certified sommelier and Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley CSW
  • Tasting of six fine wines from around the world
  • Small serving of artisanal cheese and bread to accompany your tasting
  • Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted
