Taste. Learn. Travel Through Time.

Ancient Vines to Modern Wines traces wine’s journey from its earliest beginnings to the techniques shaping the bottles we enjoy today. This immersive, classroom-style experience blends history, storytelling, and modern context to reveal how ancient traditions continue to influence contemporary winemaking.

During this guided taste & learn class, we’ll explore:

  • How ancient civilizations grew, fermented, stored, and celebrated wine
  • The role of trade, migration, and cultural exchange in spreading wine across regions
  • How historical practices shaped the wine styles we drink today
  • The shared thread connecting ancient wine drinkers to modern producers

You’ll taste 5 thoughtfully selected wines that help bring the story to life, reinforcing how the past still lives in the glass.
