Grape Focus: Syrah Around the World

Explore Syrah across continents and climates — from savory to powerful, elegant to wild. One grape, many expressions.

Syrah is one of the world’s most expressive red grapes — shaped as much by place, climate, and culture as by the grape itself. In this class, we’ll taste Syrah from several regions around the world, exploring how the same grape can move from peppery and lifted to dark, structured, and powerful, depending on where and how it’s grown.

Along the way, we’ll talk about the people behind the wines, the landscapes they come from, and the choices in the vineyard and cellar that give Syrah its many personalities.

This class is a great entry point for red-wine lovers curious to go deeper, and just as rewarding for Wine School veterans looking to sharpen their understanding of how grape and place intersect. Expect thoughtful tasting, real context, and plenty of “aha” moments — no intimidation involved.
