SUMMARY:Wine Meets Its Match: A Wine Pairing Experience

It’s about learning how to trust your palate\, have fun with flavor\, and walk away with a pairing trick you’ll actually use at home. Whether you’re wine-curious or already a fan\, you’ll leave more confident\, more connected\, and with a few new favorite combinations. \nCome sip\, snack\, and let your wine meet its match—one delicious 🍷 sandwich at a time. Tickets are $54.99 and include tastings of 5 wines\, pairing placemat\, guided wine pairing instruction from The Wine Coach\, special discounts on the wines and unlimited FUN.
