Description Cancellation Policy

Description

Escape the hustle and bustle of New York City and settle into the cozy atmosphere of Origin Cafe + Wine Bar for an engaging introduction to the world of wine.

Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned wine lover, this guided tasting with Certified Sommelier Aaron will deepen your appreciation of what's in your glass. You'll sample six carefully selected wines- including a Chardonnay, Albariño, Merlot, Sangiovese, Red Blend, and a unique Argentine varietal (subject to availability)- while learning how to identify acidity, tannins, sweetness, alcohol levels, and the characteristics that define each wine.

Along the way, you'll explore how climate, soil, altitude, and winemaking regions shape a wine's flavor, while building confidence in your tasting skills. By the end of the experience, you'll leave with a better understanding of wine, a more refined palate, and the knowledge to enjoy every glass with confidence.

No experience is required! We provide all the wine, equipment, and materials.  Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you’re part of a large group. 21+ only.

  • Wine Tasting 101

    I felt the class was really enjoyable. I walked away with a better understanding of wine. Also the atmosphere was friendly with the other groups also taking the class.

  • Wine Tasting 101

    The instructor was actually a sommelier so he had a wealth of information and explained it to where we could understand and enjoy it. I learned so much and would like to go to another class. It was a great experience and it gave me a good basic knowledge of what I was tasting and what I like and what I would buy or order and it was fun. I would love it if next time we could have some cheese with it as well. Worth going to and would recommend it

  • Wine Tasting 101

    Mixed feelings on this experience. The best part of the wine tasting was the sommelier who was wonderful and facilitated a great class. I genuinely learned from him and he made it approachable and fun! But the space itself was a little awkward and it didn't really allow for anyone to linger and continue drinking any of the wines we tasted or try another wine afterwards.

    The class was great. Teacher was knowledgeable and a lot of great wines I would not have known about

  • Wine Tasting 101

    The instructor was informative and engaging. I learned a lot from the class and would definitely do another one. My only complaint was that we lost some time because there were issues regarding registration, so it felt a bit rushed toward the end. Other than that, I had a great experience.
