Californian Wine Masterclass (St Albans)

Join us for our Californian Wine Masterclass and embark on an enticing journey through one of the world’s most vibrant wine regions. From the sun-drenched valleys of Napa and Sonoma to the breezy coastal slopes of Monterey and Santa Barbara, we'll uncover how California’s varied climates, soils, and winemaking approaches result in an incredible spectrum of styles.

You'll taste wines that highlight both classic and emerging Californian expressions—think beautifully balanced Chardonnays, rich, fruit-forward reds, and innovative blends. Along the way, we'll explore key winemaking techniques—from oak aging and malolactic fermentation to canopy management and the state's distinctive AVA system.

Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just discovering California wines, this masterclass offers illuminating insights, delicious tastings, and a deeper appreciation of what makes Californian wine so compelling. No tasting experience is necessary — all levels of knowledge are welcome at our events.
