Wine Tasting with Rick Steves (Virtual Event)

Whether you're a long-time wine aficionado or just beginning your tasting journey, we welcome you! Sip along during this delightful evening with Rick and listen to his stories, tasting notes, and learn more about the different wine varietals and flavors.

A professional sommelier will guide you and Rick through a curated tasting of six European wines shipped right to your door. Practice the five S’s of wine tasting —see, swirl, sniff, sip, and savor—and develop your palate while getting to know Rick.

This virtual adventure with Rick Steves is filled with discovery, a bit of indulgence, and laughter. You're sure to learn something new about the wonderful world of wine- and perhaps about Rick too!
