It's not often that you can visit a winery in the heart of a city! Berkeley has been home to what we call 'urban wineries' for almost 20 years. Although these producers don't own any vineyards of their own, they work directly with grape growers from all around northern California.

Learn how to appreciate the nuances of wine while we talk farming, vintage variation, and traditional winemaking practices at Berkeley’s renowned urban wineries. No topic is off limits and no question too basic! My goal is to introduce you to delicious, locally made wines and provide you with the lexicon needed to discuss wine on your own terms- hopefully you'll even become comfortable enough to hold a conversation with a restaurant sommelier!
