Pop, fizz, and discover what makes sparkling wine one of the world’s most celebratory - and seriously fascinating - styles.

Together, we’ll taste through a curated lineup of sparkling wines while learning how region, grape variety, climate, production method, and aging shape what ends up in the glass.
