hello

IWFS VIRTUAL TASTINGS

As an additional benefit to our members, IWFS Americas works with wine and spirits experts around the world to create exclusive tasting kits and to lead online presentations and tastings. These sessions may focus on a specific producer, a type of beverage, or a specific geographic region. No purchase is necessary, and everyone can participate. These tastings are very educational and entertaining even if the tasting kits are unavailable in your area.  We hope you - and your friends - can join us at an upcoming event. Please check the schedule below, and also enjoy the recordings of past tastings.  

 

  • Tuesday, September 30 - "Rhone White Wines"
  • Thursday, November 13 - "Henriot Champagne"

Our next IWFS Virtual Tasting will be "Rhône Whites: A Journey Through Opulence" on Tuesday, September 30, at 5pm pt/8pm et.
