Goosecross is noted for providing one of the most enjoyable, friendly and informative experiences in the wine country. Here are some sample topics to look forward to:
- Proper tasting techniques
- Structure and components of wine
- Winemaking preferences and styles
- Industry jargon
- Serving hints
- Wine storage
- and much more…
Come relax by the gorgeous rose garden, surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills. Your host will lead you through the basics of wine enjoyment in a fun and unpretentious way. You’ll leave feeling “in the know” about the fundamentals of wine appreciation and ready to make the most of your wine country trip!
The program was created by Colleen Topper, our very own Proprietor and Vice President of Public Relations. Not only did Colleen develop the class, she also wrote a class guidebook that’s free to every attendee. The book will prove to be a wonderful resource for many years.
Start your day at Goosecross Cellars and become acquainted, or reacquainted with the fundamental joys of wine by attending our Wine Basics Class. We look forward to seeing you soon!
