In this lively, flavor-driven tasting designed for wine lovers and curious beer enthusiasts, we’ll explore beer through the lens you already love—aroma, texture, structure, and sense of place. Expect elegant, aromatic styles, layered complexity, and a few surprises along the way as we connect beer to the same language we use to describe great wine. We’ll taste through styles that echo the freshness of a crisp white, the depth of a structured red, and even the intrigue of oxidative wines, while also diving into how to pair beer with everything from savory dishes to dessert—and how to bring it into your kitchen through marinades and sauces. And yes, bites are included—as always. No beer expertise needed—just curiosity and a palate ready to be impressed.

Think you know beer? Think again. Beer, like wine, is a story of aroma, texture, structure, and place.

Designed for curious palates, this class invites wine lovers and beer enthusiasts alike to explore the world of beer through a familiar lens: aroma, texture, structure, and sense of place.

We’ll move beyond the “simple and refreshing” reputation of beer and into its more expressive, elegant, and complex styles—the ones that speak the language of wine. Think floral and mineral notes, layered aromatics, texture on the palate, and styles that can rival your favorite whites and reds in depth and character.

Through a curated tasting designed to impress, you’ll discover how certain beers can echo the brightness of a crisp white, the structure of a bold red, or the intrigue of an oxidative wine—all while learning how ingredients, brewing techniques, and balance shape each style. We’ll also explore how to pair beer with a wide range of dishes—from savory plates to unexpected dessert pairings—and how to bring it into the kitchen, using beer in marinades, sauces, and other culinary applications that elevate both food and flavor.

Whether you’re a wine lover curious about beer, or a beer drinker ready to expand your palate, this class will open the door to new flavors, new styles, and a deeper appreciation for what’s in your glass.

Because great taste doesn’t belong to just one category!

Bonus: Exceptional pours, served in Riedel Tequila glasses to elevate the experience!

Tequila or Mezcal?
You don’t have to choose… but we might make you try!

We hear these names and think of celebrations, “happy times,” and colorful Mexico—but behind every sip there is history, craft, and deep-rooted tradition that most people have never experienced.

In this lively and interactive class, we turn it into a friendly battle:
Doreen teaches Tequila. Raj defends Mezcal.
You taste, learn, and decide where your loyalty lies.

Along the way, you’ll explore the regions where agave is grown, how it’s harvested, and the key differences in production—from roasting to distillation—that shape each spirit’s personality.  Through a guided tasting, you’ll discover a range of styles while learning how to properly smell, taste, serve, and truly appreciate both Tequila and Mezcal—using professional glassware designed to elevate the experience.

And because this is Vitis House, expect thoughtful bites designed to complement and elevate the tasting and show you how beautifully Tequila and Mezcal can work at the table.

By the end of the evening, you won’t just know the difference—you’ll have a new perspective, a new favorite (maybe), and a much deeper appreciation for what’s in your glass.

Bonus: Exceptional pours, served in Riedel Tequila glasses, to elevate the experience!

Walk the Camino… one glass at a time. 🍷🇪🇸

The Camino de Santiago has inspired travelers, pilgrims, and food lovers for centuries—winding through breathtaking landscapes, ancient villages, monasteries, and some of Spain’s most exciting (and underrated) wine regions.

In this immersive tasting class experience, we’ll journey through the northwest of Spain, exploring the soulful, fresh, and food-friendly wines found along and near the Camino. From the elegant minerality of Galicia’s Albariño, to the mountain vineyards of Ribeira Sacra, the expressive Mencía wines of Bierzo, and the stunning texture and complexity of Godello from Valdeorras, you’ll discover why this corner of Spain is quietly becoming one of the most exciting wine destinations in the world.

And because borders don’t always define culture, sometimes the Camino tastes a little Portuguese too—with grapes, traditions, and Atlantic influences shared across neighboring regions.

Along the way, we’ll uncover stories of pilgrimage, local cuisine, wine traditions, and the people who make this part of Spain so unforgettable.

Expect hidden gems. Travel through Spain without leaving your seat.

Because sometimes the best journeys begin with a glass of wine.

You’re not alone. When it comes to wine, your brain is constantly influencing what you think you smell and taste—sometimes without you even realizing it.

Is expensive wine really better, or are we just pressuring ourselves? Can color, glassware, music, setting and even your mood trick you?

In this eye-opening (and seriously fun) tasting experience, we’ll challenge assumptions through a series of blind tastings, sensory surprises, and delicious experiments designed to test what you actually like—without labels, price tags, or wine snobbery getting in the way.

And just when you think you know a grape… we’ll show you how clones, terroir, climate, and winemaking can completely transform it into something wildly unanticipated.

Expect surprises. Taste without bias. Outsmart your own brain.

Because in wine, perception is powerful… and your palate may know more than you think.
