Wine expert Tom Wilcox will teach you everything he knows about this gorgeous region of France. These classes will take place in our newly renovated Founders Room, which promises to enhance this experience of the senses.

This class will cover the basics of grapes, classification levels, sub-regions, and geography – all the elements to understand Burgundy.
