Class Description: Tucked between alpine peaks and winding rivers, Central Europe’s wine regions offer far more than the sweet Rieslings you might expect. In this class, we’ll explore the dry, elegant whites and emerging reds of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland—places where winemaking has quietly evolved past old stereotypes. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for these wines and a fresh perspective on how Central Europe is shaping the future of winemaking.
