Why You Should Go: You think outside the box; as in the wine box chilling in your fridge. And while spending time sipping, swirling, and discussing the oakiness of your cartoned collection may be enough to render you a master wino in some circles, it's time for the next step in your education; head to Beverage Art Brewer & Winemaker Supply for a wine-making class for two.

Why You’ll Love It: Taking your love of wine one step further, this two-session class has you making 28 to 30 bottles of excellent wine. Following step-by-step procedures after a short learning session, you’ll craft a varietal wine such as Chardonnay or estate-grown Cabernet as you’re overseen by their expert winemakers. They’ll even bottle, cork and custom-label your wine once it’s done fermenting in their temp-controlled cellar. 

What You’ll Learn: After two sessions (first is two hours; second is one to two hours), you’ll be ready to start a vineyard empire – or at least impress oenophile friends. Learn winemaking approaches and techniques, tasting and appreciation, and basics of quality wine making. Then you’ll move on to hands-on winemaking using 6-gallon vats, learning to balance and stabilize your wine, adjust the tannins and sugar levels, and bottle and label the final product. Salut!
