Exploring the Rhone North to South with Claudia Chamberlain DipWSET – In Person or Online

1 1/2 hours, $115

Journey down the Rhône River from the granite slopes of the north to the sun-soaked southern vineyards. Discover the stark stylistic differences between Syrah and Grenache-driven reds, and sample the whites and rosés that make the Rhône so regionally expressive.

We will post the list of wines to be tasted closer to the event date, but here is a preview of what we’re planning (subject to change based upon availability and other factors):

1. Côte-Rôtie
2. Cornas
3. Saint-Joseph (red)
4. Hermitage (white or red)
5. Crozes-Hermitage
6. Condrieu (Viognier)
7. Gigondas (Southern Rhône)
8. Châteauneuf-du-Pape (red)
9. Vacqueyras or Cairanne
10. Côtes du Rhône (entry level)
11. Tavel (rosé)
12. Lirac or Southern Rhône white (e.g. Grenache Blanc blend)

Participants may choose to attend in person at the Capital Wine School or virtually on Zoom.

In Person Participants

• 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.

Virtual Participants

• Virtual participants may pick their samples up at the Capital Wine School between 12pm – 5pm on October 9.
• Virtual participants who are unable to pick their samples up may request shipping for an additional fee. However, due to various factors we are unable to guarantee delivery by the event date. Participants who choose the shipping option are welcome to attend the Zoom session live without samples and will receive a recording of the tasting so that they may enjoy the wines alongside the recording at their convenience.
• Requests for shipping must be received at least 7 days prior to class, and all registrations for virtual attendance must be received by close of business the Monday prior to the class.
• Additional information regarding curbside pickups will be emailed a day or two prior to class.
• You may review our policy regarding wine samples for virtual participants here.

To ensure a quality experience for all participants, each class or course requires a minimum number of registrations. If this minimum is not met, we may need to cancel the session. In such cases, registered students will be notified as soon as possible and provided with options for rescheduling or a full refund.

By purchasing your ticket(s), you agree to our payment, refund, cancellation, and reschedule policy.
