About this event

Sparkling Wine 101

December 6th, 2026 | 1:00 – 3:00pm| $20 per person

Join us to learn more about Virginia wine and the wine making process!

Join us for Sparkling Wine 101, an approachable, guided tasting all about the bubbles! Explore how sparkling wine is made, what sets different styles apart, and how factors like grape varieties, production methods, and sweetness levels influence what ends up in your glass.

Guests will enjoy at least four 2oz pours while learning about the history of sparkling wine, discovering what to look for when tasting, and picking up practical tips to help identify the styles they enjoy most. With insights into Virginia’s wine industry and James River Cellars’ own winemaking, this class offers a fun way to expand your wine knowledge in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Whether you’re new to sparkling wine or already love a glass of bubbles, you’ll leave with a better understanding of what makes each style unique and plenty of reasons to raise a glass!
