Blind Tasting: An Exploration of Palates and Profiles – Select Sundays & Private Groups

Embark with Certified Sommelier Julie Purpura on a unique multisensorial experience. Surrounded by others just as eager as you are, you pick up the first glass and take in a wine without name, without label—a piece of art that invites you to analyze color, aroma, texture, and taste in the purest way possible. Maybe it’s aged in French oak, or perhaps it’s from a varietal you rarely try, but every glass offers a new experience, unbounded by any region or expectation. You’re immersed in the artistry of winemaking, where each wine tells its own story, and you’re tasked with being both the detective and the audience.
$55pp. Includes the tasting of 5 wines and light snacks.

**If you have a group of 6 or more, contact us to find a custom date & time just for you.
