Friday Tasting Series at Napa Valley College
Napa Valley College’s Friday night wine tastings feature a guest winemaker or vintner each week to showcase wines, explain their winemaking and discuss challenges facing the wine business.
They were started by instructor Paul Wagner and organized by Enoch Shully, the manager of Winery, Hospitality, and Culinary Operations at the college.
They charge $10 for students and $23.18 for others. Bring 4 to 6 glasses. RSVP early; they fill up. They start at 5:30 p.m. Most are an hour long.
