Fall is the perfect time to take a ride down the Danube, exploring the wines & flavors of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. From Furmint & Welschriesling to Blaufrankisch & Pinot Noir, we will venture through the Alps to the Dalmatian Coast and explore any Czech, Slovak, or Romanian wines we can source. A bowl of "Ghoulish" Goulash will be served alongside these wines, bringing the warmth & spice from these cultures together. NOTE: We are not able to accommodate dietary restrictions for this event.
Hung(a)ry for Ghoulish Grapes: Wines of Central Europe is an educational wine tasting class paired with a seasonal food pairing at a local Chapel Hill shop. Guests will taste a variety of regional wines from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, ranging from crisp whites to earthy reds, while learning about the geography and history of the Danube region. What to Know: Tickets cost $75 per person, and the session runs from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Tuesday, October 20. This is an adults-only event. The shop serves a bowl of traditional goulash alongside the wine flights, but they cannot accommodate dietary restrictions or substitutions for this specific menu.

It is a structured yet relaxed way to try lesser-known European bottles before committing to a full case for your holiday table.
