An educational wine & food experience

Summary:

In this Alpine showdown, we will explore the Mosel and Rhine areas of Germany and the beautiful wine regions of eastern Austria. Discover that, in fact, most Rieslings are not sweet!  Learn the beautifully logical system of classifying German and Austrian wines and amaze your friends with your new-found knowledge! Try, for perhaps the first time, delicious Austrian wines, perfect for Atlanta’s warm sultry summers and enjoy a taste of authentic German foods prepared by our executive Chef.

Let us transport you to some of the most picturesque and coldest fine wine growing regions in the world while also learning about the cuisine. German food is known for being rich and flavorful with each region claiming its own specialty dishes. In this class, we'll explore how these local favorites pair with the regional wines. Guten Appetit!
