Education FAQ
Do I need any wine knowledge to join a class?
Not at all. Every class starts with the basics and adapts to the room, so beginners and collectors both leave with something new.
Where are classes held?
In your home or office in the Portland area, at a venue of your choice, or online. We bring glassware, tasting sheets and wines on request.
Can you train our restaurant team?
Yes. We build training around your actual wine list and service style, and can run a single session or a series for new hires.
Is there an age requirement?
Everyone who tastes must be 21 or older with valid ID. We serve responsibly and provide spit cups and water at every session.
