This exciting event is meant to attract those joining the virtual event live from the West Coast (it begins at 7pm PT) as well as night owls on the East Coast.
Join travel expert Rick Steves in this unforgettable wine tasting adventure! Whether you're a longtime wine aficionado or just beginning your tasting journey, we welcome you! Sip along during this delightful evening with Rick and listen to his stories and tasting notes, while you learn more about the special wine varietals and flavors contained in your personal wine kit.
A professional sommelier will guide you and Rick through a curated tasting of six wines shipped right to your door. This unique wine kit will give you the chance to compare and contrast European wines from Italy, Germany, and Austria with some New Zealand wine varietals from Marlborough and Hawke's Bay.
During this virtual adventure, practice the five S’s of wine tasting — see, swirl, sniff, sip, and savor — and develop your palate. Learn something new about the wonderful world of wine, be entertained, and hear directly from Rick about his European travels.
