A Taste of Terroir: Wine, Grapes & Soil
Adult Enrichment / Food & Drink -
Spring 2026
Wine lovers often talk about terroir—the combination of soil, climate, and landscape that shapes a grape’s character. Spend a relaxed evening exploring how the same grape expresses itself in different terroirs. Compare Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley’s volcanic soils with one from Bordeaux’s gravelly Left Bank; taste Pinot Grigio from northern Italy alongside the same grape grown in Willamette Valley, Oregon; and see how Garnacha from Spain’s Priorat region measures up to Grenache from France’s Côtes du Rhône. Discover the subtle and sometimes striking differences and find which terroirs speak to your palate.
