Passport Series - France: The Wines of Beaujolais (Wine Class)
Forget everything you think you know about Beaujolais. Situated just south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is home to some of France's most dynamic, food-friendly, and terroir-expressive red wines.
Join us for an immersive journey into the world of Beaujolais and its signature grape: Gamay. Whether you are already a fan of fresh, chillable reds or looking to discover why top sommeliers obsess over the region's complex, age-worthy Cru appellations, this foundational class will strip away the misconceptions and highlight the serious craft behind these exceptional bottles. We'll be pouring a curated lineup of exceptional wines that showcase the full depth and range of this celebrated French region.
