One of the oldest winemaking areas of the world, the Iberian Peninsula is currently considered one of the most exciting as well. Steeped in tradition, but not afraid to update and experiment, Spain offers an incredible array of elegant, delicious and varied wines. This class, led by ICE’s resident sommelier, Richard Vayda, offers a sampling of some top regions’ Reservas, as well as fascinating lesser-known examples. Specially chosen regional cheeses and bites will accompany our delightful tasting. We'll taste at least nine wines, plus matching cheeses.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
