What to expect
You'll gather in a tasting room and work through three wines methodically. Each pour comes with explanation of its production journey—how the classic method builds complexity over months, how Charmat speeds things up in steel tanks, and how ancestral fermentation creates something altogether different. The educators encourage you to nose and taste actively, pointing out specific aromas that emerge from each technique. It's a focused hour that treats sparkling wine as something to understand rather than simply consume.
