Explore Your Senses Tasting Experience
Dive deeper into the aromatics of different varietals and truly explore your senses! During this guided experience, you will be presented with varietals of wine in a blind lineup and asked to consider each wine’s shade and color depth before you begin to sense the aroma of each wine, focusing on fruit. Sensory jars with non-fruit aromas are provided as clues to the varietals. Be sure to assign a varietal to each wine and make guesses as to the aromas you are sensing in each jar before consulting the answer key when the wines will be revealed. The power of suggestion has never been so much fun!$45 per person, complimentary for club members; waived with a $100 wine purchase.

All Things Italian Tasting Experience
Winemaker Michael Muscardini always says that there are two types of people in the world - those who are Italian and those who wish they were Italian. Being an all-inclusive family, we have named our most elevated tasting and pairing experience "All Things Italian", making sure we offer everyone a place at our family table. This unique tour, tasting and pairing will walk you through the complete story of Muscardini Cellars with tastings of our Vermouth aperitivo, a selection of current release and library Italian style wines and our digestivo Grappa.
