In this class, we’ll explore the region’s diverse sub-AVAs — from Dundee Hills to Eola-Amity — and taste through examples that showcase how soil, elevation, and clone selection shape style. We’ll also examine what sets Oregon Pinot apart from its Burgundian and Californian counterparts, and why it’s captured such critical acclaim over the past two decades.

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.
