Intro to Portuguese Wines – Ancient Grapes, Modern Obsession

Portugal has been making wine for thousands of years, almost entirely with grape varieties found nowhere else on earth. The result is a wine culture that's completely its own — shaped by dramatic landscapes, ancient traditions, and a coastline that keeps things cooler and fresher than you'd expect this far south. Whether you're new to Portuguese wine or just know you love it without knowing why, this class will give you the full picture.

We'll taste through the country's most exciting regions and styles — from the zippy, aromatic whites of Vinho Verde to the brooding, structured reds of the Douro Valley — and come away with a real sense of what makes Portugal one of the most rewarding wine countries to explore.

Class will be led by our friend Diana Schultz, winemaker at Augustina Cellars, whose easygoing, engaging teaching style makes the whole thing feel relaxed, social, and genuinely fun. Diana's classes have built a loyal following at the shop — they sell out every time, so grab your seat now!
