with Ryan Kalkwarf of Honeycomb Kitchen Shop
Must be 21+ to attend.
Join us for a wine pairing class led by our very own Ryan Kalkwarf, a sommelier with over 20 years' experience and a passion for turning great wine into unforgettable moments. Throughout the evening, Ryan will guide you through Four Thoughtfully Curated Wines for the Holidays. This tasting features exceptional wines from The Wine Shop at Honeycomb, each expertly matched with seasonal bites designed to highlight the unique character of every wine. See what you can discover before all the holidays roll around to impress your guests at your table!
You'll explore a variety of wines, including crisp whites, vibrant sparkling wines, elegant reds, and bold, full-bodied classics while discovering ways to incorporate them into your holiday gatherings.
Throughout the class, you'll learn how to properly taste wine—from sight and aroma to structure and finish—while Ryan breaks down the principles behind successful food and wine pairings and explains what makes each combination work so beautifully. Join us as we explore the flavors, landscapes, and timeless winemaking traditions that make these bottles worthy of celebration.
Whether you’re new to wine or looking to deepen your appreciation, this experience is designed to be both educational and delicious.
Tickets are priced per person.
