In this tasting, we turn our attention to wines shaped by slate soils. Found across the globe — and yes, even here in Virginia, though often interwoven with other substrates — slate imparts a distinctive character to the wines it nurtures. You may know these soils by other names, such as schist or llicorella. Together, we will explore what makes slate so compelling and why the wines born from it are so captivating.
The afternoon will feature six thoughtfully selected wines, along with a seventh presented blind for an added element of intrigue and discovery.
To complement the wines, we will offer a selection of artisanal charcuterie and cheeses, followed by a coffee and tea bar to conclude the experience — a warm and gracious send-off for your travels home.
