Calling All Chocolate Lovers!
WINES AND CHOCOLATES!
Sun. Feb. 9th 5:00 - 7:30 PM
@ Labyrinth Winery Tasting Room
Calling All Chocolate Lovers!
Learn how to properly pair the strong, nuanced, powerhouse flavors of wines and chocolates.
Our resident sommelier, Gregory Leon, will educate and enterain you as you sample pairings of exquisite chocolates with our fine wines. Wine and chocolate tend to compete for some of the same taste buds, and both leave long-lingering aftertastes and mouth-coatings, but is heavenly when properly paired! If for no other reason, our triple chocolate chili is worth the price of admission!
After this symposium, you'll be able to make perfect wine and chocolate pairings. This is one of our most popular classes and it will sell out fast! Make your reservations now!

We love wine and sharing that love. Whether it's about the origins of a grape, the culture of the people from that place, winemaking, stemware, or food pairings, we love to discuss anything involving wine. So it should not come as a surprise that we teach wine education courses. We currently teach 9 different classes and have plans on expanding that to 12. For those who take 3 of our fun and educational courses, we honor them with certification!
Enjoy wine and food pairings, learn about wine, have a good time and after 3 classes you too can become a Certified Wine-Know! To date, 40 people have earned their Wine-Know certifications.
If you wish to become a Certified Wine-Know, sign up for a class or series of classes . You'll be treated to wines you've not expereienced and have a lot of fun as you learn. You'll be glad that you did.

Due to the govt's notion that somehow we are not as sanitary as your local Walmart, we are unable to have live wine education classes with food & wine pairings.
