Classic Wine Tasting

This tasting is truly unique to each guest’s taste! Step up to our new tasting bar where your experience begins with an educational description of ten selected wines from our always evolving catalog–half of them dry and half of them sweet. Each guest can choose five wines that match perfectly with their personal palate. Try five dry wines, sweet wines, or explore a mix of both!

This experience lasts approximately 45 minutes, and we ask that you arrive 10 minutes prior to your reservation time so we can greet you.
