    Entertaining. Super informative! Fun and well paced! Would recommend to wine and history lovers as well as non-lovers who want to learn and come away with a new appreciation!
  • Wine Making for Two

    Anonymous review on 1/30/2022
    The instructor, Greg, was amazing! Funny, informative, and helpful. We really enjoyed the class and we’re looking forward to our wine bottling!
  • Wine Making for Two

    Reviewed by Gail G. on 2/10/2020
    The class was Great! Just enough information and background to get me interested but not so much that I was impatient to start making wine! Perfect balance. I can't wait to taste the wine. The only suggestion I would make would be for course horse, I did not know you could order your wine kit ahead of time, if it was mentioned I missed it and would like to see tidbits like that have a more prominent place in the description. It was a great experience and I would do it again. Gail

    This was such a fun class! We learned about wine making while sipping on wine and then got to make our own with the kit we purchased. I'm excited to go back and bottle the wine. I'd recommend this class to all wine lovers.

    This was my favorite coursehorse class yet. So informative, and at the end of the process (still need to go back for racking and bottling), you get to bring home two cases of wine that you made!!! I would recommend this class to anyone who loves wine.
