Travel the world through four of its most celebrated wine regions in this engaging lecture series. Each session combines an illustrated PowerPoint presentation, video, and lively discussion exploring the history, geography, culture, grape varieties, and winemaking traditions of a renowned wine-producing area. We'll visit Rioja (Spain), Mendoza (Argentina), South Australia, and South Africa, discovering what makes each region unique and why its wines have earned international acclaim. Each class includes a guided tasting of premium wines selected to showcase the distinctive character of the featured region. No prior wine knowledge is required -- just curiosity and a willingness to explore the world one class at a time. There are four sessions: September 13 - Spain, September 20 - Mendoza, September 27 - Australia, October 4 - Africa. All four sessions together is $160. A single session is $50.

Good to know

Before you come.

  • Do I need a ticket or a reservation?

    Yes. Grab tickets above; they're the only way in.

  • What does it cost?

    $50 per person.

  • Can I bring my kids?

    Yes, until 9 PM. Kids are welcome at every event before nine, as long as they don't use the barrels as bongos.

  • Are dogs allowed?

    Yes, if they're cool. If your dog's nicer than most humans — perfect. If not, maybe let them guard the couch instead.

  • What kind of wine do you make?

    Syrah, Malbec, Cab Sauv, Tempranillo, Sauvy B, Chenin Blanc, Rosé, and whatever other rebellious surprises we bottled last.

  • Can I host my event here?

    Heck ya. We love throwing parties. Birthdays, shows, divorces, board meetings — we don't judge. Just know the wine will upstage your PowerPoint. Plan a private event →

  • What should I wear?

    Whatever you can spill Syrah on without crying. Although, Lin usually has a Tide Stick in their bag for emergencies. Somm things.

  • Will there be food?

    Yes. The Allium Wood-Fired Pizza feeds our event nights: charcuterie, empanadas, wood-fired pies, pastas, salads, potato-chip pairings and chocolates. The Allium's wood-fired pizza truck keeps its own hours, usually 11 AM–8 PM; Friday Night Pizza Night runs 5–8 PM. The Allium is a separate business and sometimes caters offsite events, so check with them before coming just for pizza. Plan on coming hungry.
