Harvest Tours
Join the winemaking team for a harvest tour education. You can expect to learn about the winemaking process from when we bring the grapes into the building to when we put them into barrel. If you're willing to get your hands a little purple, we may even have some opportunities for you to work with the fruit.

Barrel to bottle - blending
Join us to learn about the winemaking process from when the wine is put into barrels, then blended, and bottled. There will be a large focus in this class on blending wines, and we will have wine for you to make your own blend and experience the excitement (and sometimes frustration) of trying to make a wine more than the sum of its parts. Some themes we will cover are, what kind of barrels we use, how we keep the wine "healthy" during the aging process, the battle of blending, what makes a wine a good candidate for laying down in your cellar for years to come, and of course blending your own wine!
This class includes a boxed dinner and a flight of wine.

Tasting and Pairing 101
You can expect to learn about basics of how to taste wine and create pairings. Even if you're a seasoned wine taster and know exactly how to hit the spittoon after each sip, you'll have lots to learn about psychology and tips on how to make the tasting process even better! Then, try out some pairings, and start to understand why some wines pair better with certain foods and how to build the ultimate menu for your next dinner party, or how to decide which wine to order with your favorite restaurant meal.

Vineyard Education
This class covers the ins and outs of where all great wine starts... in the vineyard! We'll provide coffee and transportation out to one of our vineyard partners in the Snake River Valley AVA, where we will then spend the morning showing you why great wine begins in the vineyard. We will talk about everything from vine physiology, to how weather affects the finished product. Before it gets too hot, we'll enjoy a delicious lunch with the winemaking team, and a relaxing ride back to the winery (complete with wine of course).
This class includes transportation from the winery to the vineyard and back, a boxed lunch, and a flight wine.
