America and Europe: A Virtuous Wine Story

When: 
Thursday, June 11, 2026
Where: 

Berkshire Botanical Garden

Join Philippe Jeanjean, a WSET Level 3–certified sommelier from Paris, for an enlightening tasting experience that spans two continents. Since the 18th century, classic European grape varieties have found new homes in American soils. Today, regions like California, Oregon, Washington, and the Finger Lakes of New York craft wines that rival Europe’s finest, yet with their own distinct personality. In this class on Thurs., June 11 from 6 to 7:30 p.m., you’ll taste and compare wines made from the same grape varieties in both Europe and America, discovering how climate, soil and winemaking traditions shape each bottle. Experience the story of wine across the Atlantic. Sip, compare and explore the virtues of both worlds.
