You'll come away wiser about the personality of bubbles, the secrets of food and wine pairings (with cheese and chocolate examples!), and the difference glassware makes in tasting wine. Tasting are usually scheduled on Saturday mornings at 11:00 a.m., but you can contact the Tasting Room manager to make your arrangements. Utica is very close to Starved Rock State Park, and less than two hours by car from Chicago, so why not start your morning with a tasting, then make a day of it?
