Wine Component Tasting (A Wine Education Happy Hour by Book + Bottle)

  • Book + Bottle 17 6th Street North St. Petersburg, FL, 33701 United States (map)

An interactive tasting! Smell + taste food items against six great wines as you learn more about the aromatic and palate components of wine!

Join us for an interactive class where you'll get little (individual, covid-safe) containers of fruits, spices, or other aromatic items that you can smell and taste along with a line up of 6 great wines! This is a great way to help learn how to communicate about your wine tasting experiences.

Are you getting ripe apple or tart grapefruit? Is this wine oaked or not? Why do you smell butter in your wine? Cat pee? Learn all about the different flavors that contribute to your wine enjoyment.

Please arrive early, beginning at 6:30PM. Class will begin promptly at 7PM.

What you can expect:

  • Space between you and our other guests. Each person/ couple will have their own table. We're keeping tickets to a minimum to promote safety, health, and optimal conversation.

  • A line up of distinctive wines paired with their component aroma and flavors

  • A handout with information on each wine with room for you to take notes

  • Palate cleanser snacks

  • A guided tasting by Book + Bottle's wine experts

  • You can add on a gorgeous charcuterie box from Gather Round and Graze for an additional $15 that is perfect for two people to snack on or one person to fill their belly
