Gifts for Wine Lovers

A friendly reminder that wine classes make a great holiday gift for the wine lover in your life. Information on gift certificates can be found here, or contact us for more details.  

This spring we will once again offer our popular Introduction to Wine Series, a great option for someone who wants to get familiar with wine tasting and wine terminology in a fun and interactive class.  Register for individual class sessions for $50 each or enroll in the entire 3-part series for $135.  

Our International Wine Passport Series is a great option for wine lovers at all levels - from the professional to the "just enthusiastic".  Enroll your wine lover in one of our Frequent Flyer Programs (membership available at several levels) and let them select the class or classes of their choice.  

Questions? Don't hesitate to be in touch.

2009 International Wine Passport Series

Details of the 2009 International Wine Passport Series have now been finalized and the full program can be found here.  

We selected the 12 Portland wine professionals we would most like to learn from and asked them to put together a class on a wine region they are passionate about (well, in truth we asked only 10 Portland wine professionals to join us - 2 of the classes will be taught by us!). Their interests spanned the globe and therefore so will this series.  We'll spend plenty of time in Europe of course, but we're particularly excited about the sessions that take us into the lesser known - and often lesser appreciated - New World wine regions.  

The classes will be fun, relatively informal, and appropriate for all levels.  Whether you are a wine geek, a wine professional, or someone who just likes to enjoy a glass at the end of the day, we hope you'll join us!  Drop in for an individual session or sign up for multiple classes through our Frequent Flyer Program and save up to 20%.
