The AWAY Program** (Art, Wine, Adventure + You) offers wonderful opportunities to spend quality time with loved ones and friends.

During our wine tasting classes, listen to our resident sommelier speak about all different types of wine. From savory to sweet, every glass is a chance to try something new.

When studying wine and it’s components, there are a few elements needed to create the perfect pairing. Pairing wines can be tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be your own personal sommelier in no time.

It’s Wine O’Clock, Somewhere!

Always remember that food and wine must have complementary components, richness, and texture. It is important to note when pairing food with wine that texture plays a role. Lighter foods pair excellently with lighter wines, such as white varietals, while heavier foods are best with heavier wine such as dark reds.

Common pairings feature Champagne or sparkling white wines with salty foods. Pair Sauvignon Blanc with tart dressings and sauces. Pinot Grigio goes well with light fish dishes. While Chardonnay tastes delicious with fattier fish or fish served with rich sauces. Spicy foods complement a drier Riesling, and rich cheesy dishes pair well with a dry Rosé. Earthy flavors tend to match with Pinot Noirs. For juicy red meats, try a Cabernet Sauvignon, or enjoy a Malbec with some sweet and spicy barbecue. If you’re looking for even more to do, try out our culinary courses, and put your newly acquired sommelier skills to use while learning how to prepare culinary masterpieces.
