Workshop Description

Nectar of the Gods

Sweet white wine used to greatly outnumber dry reds among the revered wines of the world. Return to sweetness, learning about the classic dessert wines of the world, other homes, various production methods, and styles. But are they just for dessert?  Discover through a guided tasting how they vary based on climate, soils and traditions in various international regions. Despite the differences you will find common threads. This class is a must for Dessert Wine lovers and those seeking to find new inspiration and improve their wine tasting skills and knowledge. This class includes a guided tasting of 6 wines.

This workshop may be taken as part of our Wine Styles of the World Series or individually a la carté. Your workshop fees can be applied to the cost of the full series if you would like to continue on.  

Group discounts are available.  Contact help@sfwineschool.com for more information.
