About

Italy boasts a long history and incredibly varied geography, both of which contribute to the diversity of Italian wines. From crisp whites to succulent reds and lively bubbles, from Tuscany to Piedmont and Sicily, Italian wines are specific to their subcultures and local culinary traditions. You simply can't separate Italian wine from the food on the table. We'll tour Italy one glass at a time, learning about the regions and the styles for which they're famous, delving into thousands of years of Italian history and how it has shaped the wine we enjoy today.

You'll learn about the most important wine styles, how Italian wines are made, the role of wine in Italian culture and how to best appreciate wine while visiting Italy. This class is the second in a series of European Wine Tour classes being offered at BARN in Spring 2023.
