Wine is better when it's shared... and when it is really good. Join wine expert and owner of Wine Explorations, a wine travel company, Stacy Dalton for a “walk-around” wine tasting event for you and 7 guests.

This one-of-kind wine event will include a detailed tasting that will explore notes for all wines. You will also learn valuable (and delicious) information about each wine, including their origin, terroir, soil, climate, and much. And if you ever wanted questions about wine, there will be plenty of time to ask questions and learn about all things wine from a wine expert.
