Tasting Schedule

With rare exceptions, tastings are generally on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 3 pm; exceptions are noted via *. Most tastings are OPEN to the public (up to 3 guest visits), but selected tastings may be reserved for members or have member-first enrollments. Tastings are announced 3-1/2 weeks prior to the tasting date. Note: The schedule is tentative. We expect most events to occur on the dates and times indicated; but if we have an "opportunity," we may preempt an event for a new topic!

MOBILE USERS: Please turn your phone sideways if necessary to see the entire table.
