Join Fearrington Village for a Wine Class – Blind Tasting 101 on Thu, Feb 5, 6pm-7pm. During this unique, interactive, and educational session, you’ll learn about classic wines! Many people have heard of sommeliers’ blind wine tastings and the mystique that comes with the skill set. Fearrington is here to tell you it’s not that hard! We all have similar physical abilities as tasters; it’s just a matter of being shown the mental pathways that wine professionals take when tasting selections.

The real motivation behind blind tasting is not to impress a roomful of people with your crazy, spot-on guess. Trained Sommeliers still make wrong guesses all the time! The reason is that it makes you a better taster, breaking down the why and the how without any preconceptions about what is in the glass. You’ll be tasting 3 reds and 3 whites from classic regions. This will be a very fun and informative class led by Fearrington Wine Director Troy Revell.

A few small bites from Chef Gagne are included, and wines tasted will be available for purchase at the end of the event. The class will take place on the Terrace behind The Fearrington House Restaurant. This $75 all-inclusive wine class is non-refundable. If your plans have changed, please feel free to send a lucky friend in your place! Just send Fearrington an email with their name or have them bring your confirmation email.
