When the sun is out and the days are long, it’s time for wines that are fresh, lively, and made for easy drinking. Summer Sippers is a guided tasting class focused on refreshing wines perfect for warm-weather gatherings, picnics, patios, and anything enjoyed outdoors.
In this class, we’ll explore a vibrant lineup of summer-ready wines, including sparkling wine, rosé, Vinho Verde, Gamay, and even a chilled take on Rioja. From crisp bubbles and zesty acidity to light-bodied reds served slightly cool, each wine showcases a different way to beat the heat in style.
Along the way, we’ll cover:
- What makes a wine “summer-friendly” in style and structure
- The role of acidity, carbonation, and alcohol level in refreshment
- How rosé and sparkling wine achieve their signature freshness
- Why certain red wines, like Gamay and Rioja, can be served lightly chilled
- Easy food pairings for summer entertaining, from picnic fare to grilled favorites
You’ll leave with a better understanding of how to choose wines that shine in warm weather—and a new list of go-to bottles for the season.
