Tuscan (aka Toscana) Wines

UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN: Explore Toscana from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Chianti hills in 6 wines spanning this ancient winemaking region.



Discover the major wine denominations of Central Italy’s Toscana region or as many say in English, Tuscany. Explore the famous appellations of Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Bolgheri, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione and much more. Fully dive into Tuscany, through tasting the wines of the region, examining the cuisine and culture, and gain an understanding of the requirements, grape varieties, and winemaking practices that make Tuscany so special. Learn where they're located, what grape varieties they are made from, their styles and importance, how they taste and an introduction to the foods and culture of the regions.

This workshop is the first of 6 classes in the Italian Wine Scholar South program and is available for à la carte registration.  This is a great way to preview the program.  If you decide to continue, your workshop fee will be credited towards the full program tuition and payment plans are available.  

Hybrid - Room/Zoom

We've recently invested in some serious AV technology upgrades to create an integrated Hybrid Room/Zoom experience for all students, so each individual can choose to participate in-person as a "Roomer" with wine in their glass or online as a "Zoomer" with a custom tasting kit.  Both Roomers and Zoomers have the same wines and are able to engage with us and each other during these live classes. Recordings are also available within 1 business day after the class.  Learn more...
