Kick off the year with a journey far beyond the familiar. This tasting launches our exploration of island terroirs, beginning with the striking wines of the Canary Islands.
Formed by volcanic soils and shaped by ocean winds, this storied archipelago produces wines that are both fashionable and deeply expressive. Forget Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir—this tasting celebrates rare, indigenous grape varieties found almost nowhere else in the world, offering flavors that are savory, vibrant, and unmistakably unique.
You’ll enjoy six carefully selected wines, with the final pour served blind to challenge your palate and spark conversation. The experience is complemented by a selection of cheeses and charcuterie, followed by tea or coffee to close the evening on a relaxed note.
If you’re curious about wines that break the mold and tell a story of place, this is a tasting not to miss.
