Wine Road Presents: Seminar Series!

Did you know that Wine Road is now doing seminars?


We have found that visitors appreciate the opportunity to attend smaller, more intimate tasting experiences, featuring two to four different wineries.

In these smaller setting, guests get to know the people behind the wines. They learn a little winery history and have the opportunity to sample wines from different wineries, side-by-side.  When planning, we also leave plenty of time for "audience participation" with Q & A.

These seminars are open to the general public, but are offered at a 50% discount to our Wine Road Insider members.

Details on Insider Membership HERE

To keep that small, personalized vibe, each seminar/tasting is limited to 20-30 people, depending on the location.

We have scheduled them early in the day, so you can start with the seminar, then head out for an afternoon of wine tasting.
