The History of Champagne: Creating the World’s Most Popular Bubbly
A Wine Class & Tasting
Wednesday, September 23rd | 7:00pm - 8:00pm | $69
Tickets Available at Link in Bio!

Join us for a wine class centered around the vast history of Champagne and how war and climate shaped the world's most famous sparkling wine.

The cold climate of the region has added to the hurdles in producing fine wines, forcing winemakers to innovate and refine wine production over the course of centuries, finally resulting in one of the best styles of wines in the world.

Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will discuss the rich history of Champagne and the factors that influenced the invention of the production of these world-famous sparkling wines while we sip some beautiful Champagne wines with our Wine Director, Erin Dudley, at Josephine!
