About the Event
AWS National Tasting Project 2026: Central Italy 🍷
Join us for an exciting afternoon exploring the wines, grapes, landscapes, and traditions of Central Italy. Think Tuscany, Umbria and the Marche! 12 wines await your judgment (no experience necessary!). Guests will taste, compare, and score the wines. We are starting promptly at 1:45 p.m. with our welcome bubbly and appetizers. Wine judging will be followed by a social hour to enjoy the food and any leftover wines.
Please bring an appetizer to share, ideally something Italian-ish that will cut through the natural and bright acidity of Italian wines. Yes, this is a competition and there will be a prize for favorite dish!
Tasting fee: $50 per person.* RSVP today to reserve your place. Space is limited.
