The Journey Awaits…
Trade the Illinois chill for the sun-drenched vineyards of the Southern Hemisphere! Join us for a curated exploration of South American viticulture—a region famous for its bold innovation, high-altitude elegance, and incredible value.
We’ve hand-selected six exceptional wines for the evening:
-
2 Crisp & Vibrant Whites: Discover the refreshing complexity that defines the coastal and mountain valleys.
-
4 Robust & Sophisticated Reds: From “hidden gem” value finds to two truly stunning, high-end pours that represent the absolute pinnacle of the region.
An Educational Experience (Without the Stuffiness)
This is a seated, interactive class designed for anyone who loves a good glass of wine. We’ll dive into the “why” and “how” behind each pour in an environment that is as fun as it is informative. Leading the way is the wonderful Rachel Driver-Speckan of Maverick Beverage Company. She’s a brilliant Sommelier who strikes that perfect balance of deep expertise and approachable charm. You’ll leave not just with a favorite new bottle, but with the stories and secrets that make these wines special.
The Perfect Pairing
To highlight the versatility of these wines, we’ll be serving South American-inspired small bites with 4 or 5 of the wines that are specifically designed to make the flavors in your glass sing.
Pro-Tip: Since we are serving small bites, we recommend making a reservation at one of downtown Libertyville’s amazing restaurants to round out your evening, then joining us for the main event!
