Windridge Vineyards
Join us for our fourth class offering for our fall and winter Wine Education Series! This is a 'must-attend' class for wine lovers and is perfectly timed and paired with Valentine's Day. Desserts, like chocolate, pair exceptionally well with fortified wines. This immersive and interactive educational class will explore and demystify the world of fortified wines, from Tawny Ports and Madeira produced in Portugal with grapes grown on the steep slopes of the hot Duero Valley to Sherry from Andalucía in Spain and to the Vins Doux Naturels of the Rhone Valley in France. The techniques required to produce fortified wines are complex, labor intensive, and some of the producers' most closely held winemaking secrets. Our wine expert will help demystify fortified wines and their respective winemaking techniques. We will select classic and premier fortified wines from the best regions of the world and compare them to our distinctive and uniquely Maryland Old Line.

Capstone Class for this season is a Wine Blending Lab. Throughout this season's wine education classes, we have followed an underlying theme of how terroir and winemaking techniques influence the aroma and flavor expression of a grape in the bottle. With all this new education from Windridge, you're now ready to be a winemaker for a day.
