MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2026 | 5:30 - 7:30 PM
with Ryan Kalkwarf of Honeycomb Kitchen Shop
Join us for a wine pairing class led by our very own Ryan Kalkwarf, a sommelier with over 20 years of experience and a passion for turning great wine into unforgettable moments. Ryan will guide participants through four thoughtfully curated pairings focusing on Italian wines and food. Featuring standout selections from The Wine Shop at Honeycomb, each Italian wine has been expertly matched to an Italian dish or small bite.
Throughout the class, you’ll learn how to properly taste wine—from sight and aroma to structure and finish—while Ryan breaks down the techniques behind successful pairings and explains why each combination works. You will learn about the vineyards and winemakers behind these incredible Italian wines and how their flavor profiles complement the food being served. Whether you’re new to wine or looking to deepen your appreciation, this experience is designed to be both educational and delicious. Come sip, savor, and discover how the right pairing can turn any night into something truly special.
Must be 21+ to attend.
*All class ticket sales are final. No refunds or credit transfers to other classes are available. If you purchase a ticket and are unable to attend, please contact us to check our waitlist.*
