should be what you taste Oregon AVA's, Oregon Wine History, What's on a Label, Tasting Room Terminology, Wine / Food Pairings, Tour the winery, Barrel Taste and meet a wine maker or two.
Food and Wine Pairings - Sample several wines with several different foods. Learn why some wines go better with some foods and how to choose the right wine for your meal.
Drink good wines, eat good foods, learn, laugh, meet some nice new people and have a great time. After all, if wine isn't fun, you're not doing it right. You learn more when you are having fun - and we want you to learn a lot!
Future Plans / Additional Services * Wine Makers Dinners - Why stop at a just a day of education when you can finish it off with an incredible evening of food and wine paired just for you. * Corporate Classes - Full range of services, class topics, locations, etc. * Training for Tasting Room Staff - If your tasting room staff has a better understanding of wine and can talk intelligently to your guests, you will sell more wine, sign up better wine club customers and have a better bottom line. * Cooking Demonstration Classes with gourmet Chefs. This has so much potential. We can do these at several locations. We are going to be doing these at local wineries and some choice local B&B's. * Wine Retreat - This is our ultimate course where we spend two days and nights at a B&B and conduct a mini "Wine Camp". Deluxe accommodations, gourmet food, premium wines from around the world, private wine education and the most relaxing atmosphere you can find! We can take up to six couples for this once in a lifetime experience. Secluded, peaceful and in the heart of wine country. Life doesn't get better!
