Chelsea Market | Holiday in Europe: Cycling the Loire
July 23 2023 | 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM75 9th Avenue, New York, NY 10011
If the price of summer air travel is derailing your 2023 trip to Europe, join us at Corkbuzz instead as we "Cycle the Loire". No Loire Valley bicycle trip would be complete without wine. In this class, the wine comes first as we "cycle" through the regions of this iconic, UNESCO river valley.
The Loire Valley is one of the most diverse wine regions in France, producing a large variety of wine styles. While cycling through the winding valley path, one will find a varied and complex array of wines and wine districts, starting at the Atlantic Ocean and leading into central France. Though wines from this area cover a wide assortment, they share a distinct freshness and acidity and crisp minerality. In this class, we'll explore classics like Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, Cabernet Franc from Chinon, off the beaten path appellations, and more. Get ready to delve into the vast wine selections this unique wine region has to offer.
Join us at the bar for a glass of wine and dinner the day of class and receive 10% off your check.
Live wine classes are led by Corkbuzz Sommeliers and last 90 minutes. Class includes 6 (2 ounce) pours of wine, printed materials, and complimentary cheese. Guests will be seated at communal tables. Please refrain from wearing heavy fragrances to class.
