In this class, we’ll taste ten carefully chosen bottles that tell the region’s story, from the savory Syrah of Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage and the aromatic Viognier of Condrieu to the generous Grenache-based blends of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Côtes du Rhône. You’ll leave with a clear map of the region and a better sense of what to look for on the shelf.

This class will be held in person at the Capital Wine School. Please note that the building in which we are located does not have an elevator, and there are several sets of stairs to navigate to get to our classrooms on the second floor.
