Lake County and The Sierra is a workshop that acquaints students with the distinctive Lake County region from the high altitude vineyards above one of America’s oldest geothermal lakes to the first single winery AVA. Next we travel the roads of the 49ers to the multitude of counties in the Sierra Foothills. Uncover the various concentrations of wineries and determine the importance of the soil, elevation, climate and grape varieties grown.

This workshop is part of the  program. As part of this workshop, you'll taste 6-8 wines related to the curriculum.

Hybrid - Room/Zoom - NEW!

We've recently invested in some serious AV technology upgrades to create an integrated Hybrid Room/Zoom experience for all students.  Both "Roomers" and "Zoomers" are able to engage with us and each other during these live classes.  Recordings are also available after the class.  Whether you are excited to return to our beautiful venue in person with wine in your glass or are enjoying the convenience of home learning with a tasting kit, you can choose the experience that's right for YOU!
