Wine + Food Pairings 101

It’s time to have some fun in the kitchen + learn how to pair food + wine! Rose Farm educator + sommelier, Sarah Pritchard, will share her expertise, leaving guests with a new confidence to expand his/her palate + taste wine like a pro. Guests will start by learning about the six basic flavor profiles. Then, four wine styles will be discussed — sparkling wine, full-bodied white wine, sweet white wine, and full-bodied red wine. Guests will learn to assess each pairing by tasting both food + wine together, deciding if the match creates balance or imbalance on the palate. Multi-ingredient combinations will be introduced, and then pairing combinations will be evaluated. Your celebrations + dinner parties will never be the same again after you leave this workshoppe knowing how to create beautiful pairings. Light bites will also be included.
