WINE CLASS

Bottles of wine can be red or white or light pink and looking at the color of the juice tells us a lot about what we will be drinking

We offer WINE 101 classes downtown Santa Rosa at 4th Street Cellars             & in and downtown Petaluma at La Dolce Vita Wine Lounge. 

Our 90 minute beginner wine class will get you feeling comfortable with going wine tasting and ordering wine from the menu at a restaurant. This class will go from Vine to Wine. You will learn about what it is that you like in Red wine and why you don't like some White wine. You will see how food changes the taste of wine and vice versa and how great it can be to order the right wine at a restaurant. A tailgate party to the actual event, and basically a must if you are going wine tasting.
