Each session is 1 1/2 hours and costs $75

Join Kasia White, DipWSET and judge in the preliminary and final rounds of the 2022 Virginia Governor’s Cup competition, as we taste award-winning wines from this year’s Virginia Governor’s Cup competition.

In each session, we will taste 10 wines. As we taste each wine, participants will have the opportunity to give the wine a bronze, silver or gold medal. Once each wine has been tasted and participants have had the chance to privately assign their medal, the medal/score it received in the actual judging will be revealed.

Flight 1 – April 5, 2022 from 6:30pm – 8:00pm ($75.00)
Flight 2 – April 12, 2022 from 6:30pm – 8:00pm ($75.00)
Flight 3 – April 19, 2022 from 6:30pm – 8:00pm ($75.00)

You don’t have to attend all sessions, but it will be more fun if you do!


Each class is taught on Cisco Webex or Zoom, with wine samples available for curbside pickup by appointment on the Monday before the scheduled class between 12pm – 5pm. We will send a pickup reminder via email the Friday before the scheduled pickups.

**Wine samples can be shipped to addresses in Virginia for an additional $35 per session for participants who are unable to pick them up at the Capital Wine School. Requests for shipping must be received at least 7 days before the scheduled session. Please email info@capitalwineschool.com to request shipping.
