Join us to discuss the history and production of the fortified wines of Portugal, Spain, and the Basque country of southern France.

Fortified wine is an important part of the Iberian Peninsula's rich beverage history. From the honey-hued wines of Carcavelos to the robust aged wines of Porto, the fortified scene in this region has something for everyone.

Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will discuss the history and production styles of the key fortified Iberian Peninsula wines like Madeira, Carcavelos, Port, and Sherry. At this class, we will take the reins for one of our favorite topics, and pull out some incredible fortified wines for you to taste!

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with a wine expert
  • Tasting of six fine fortified wines from Portugal
  • Small plate of artisanal cheese to accompany your tasting
  • Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted
