Everyone reaches for red the moment the leaves turn, and they're leaving some good stuff on the shelf! Autumn belongs to a wide array of whites that the crisp-and-cold summer obsession overlooks! From white Burgundy to textured Italian sippers, we're exploring white wines that taste like walking through an orchard in October. Enjoy a lineup built for Autumn's cooler evenings...and the heavier dishes that come with them!
Whites after Labor Day: White Wines for Autumn is an educational wine tasting class focused on full-bodied white wines suited for the fall season. Participants will sample a curated selection of wines, including white Burgundy and textured Italian varieties, that complement the richer dishes we crave as the temperature drops. This evening class takes place at the Rocks & Acid storefront in Chapel Hill and costs $65 per person. Because this is an alcohol-focused educational event, it is strictly for adults aged 21 and older. Street parking is available nearby, but arriving fifteen minutes early is recommended to find a spot and settle in before the pours begin. It makes an excellent weekend starter for parents looking to reconnect without the kids. You will leave with practical knowledge on how to pair autumn dinners with unexpected wine choices, making your upcoming holiday hosting much easier.
