Around the World, After-Dinner Wines
After a full meal, what wine best completes the experience? Join our in-house sommelier, Keith Bevins, in the Barrel Room, for an immersive seated tasting that explores after-dinner wines from around the world.
This isn’t your typical “dessert wine” class; we’ll think outside the box and discover a range of digestif-style wines, from rich fortified pours to elegant late-harvest and aromatized styles. Learn how to select the perfect bottle to impress your guests this holiday season and elevate any meal’s finale.
You’ll sample six unique wines — five from renowned regions across the globe and, of course, Effingham Manor’s signature port-style wine, Snort!
Held at 1pm in our Barrel Room, this 60-minute session blends education and entertainment in equal measure. As always, it’s 50 degrees in the barrel room, so dress to enjoy the wine in comfort.
Limited seating available, RSVP today.
