Old World / New World
A World of Flavors
Experience Description
6 Wines | Approximately 90 Minutes Same grapes. Different worlds. What happens when the same grape travels across oceans? In this comparative experience, classic Old World wines meet New World expressions, allowing guests to discover how climate, soil, tradition, geography, and winemaking shape what ultimately appears in the glass. Taste familiar grapes in completely different expressions and explore why two wines made from the same variety can feel worlds apart. The journey may explore comparisons such as Burgundy and California Chardonnay, Bordeaux and Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Burgundy and Oregon Pinot Noir, Northern Rhône and New World Syrah, or Champagne and South African Méthode Cap Classique. Artisan cheeses, charcuterie, and carefully selected bites accompany the wines, creating opportunities to discover how food can change the perception of each glass. Rather than simply being told what makes the wines different, guests are encouraged to taste, compare, discuss, and discover for themselves. Climate and tradition can transform a grape into telling very different stories. Includes: artisan cheeses and charcuterie, curated pairings, professional stemware, guided storytelling, and complete setup and breakdown.
