About This Adventure

Join us for an unforgettable tasting experience as we explore the vibrant wines of South America, featuring the celebrated Malbec and other unique varietals from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil. Discover new flavors and the healthiest grape in the world while enjoying a fun outing with friends!

Once every decade or so a wine grape comes along that transcends region, winery, or even common sense to become a brand unto itself. Malbec has joined that illustrious club of brand unto-itself varietals. Over the past few years we’ve introduced hundreds of guests to the darling of American wine (Argentinean Malbec). This year, we’re continuing the trend and expanding to the wines of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil. Come taste the hottest new grapes you’ve never tried, including the healthiest grape in the world (a glass is like a 1-1/2 hour workout in the gym) coming from South America where they have the perfect dirt.
