About this Event

We invite you to participate in an ongoing wine-tasting series, hosted on campus. Initiated by Professor Paul Wagner and organized by Enoch Shully, the Manager of Winery, Hospitality, and Culinary Operations. Following the successful inaugural launch of the series in the summer of 2024, we are pleased to continue offering these tastings. Every Friday, a guest vintner will showcase their wines, expound upon their winemaking philosophy, and engage in discussions regarding the current challenges and triumphs of the wine industry, all within a classroom setting. This presents a remarkable opportunity to savor exceptional wines while gleaning insights from industry experts.

Participant Requirements:

Kindly bring your own glassware (preferably 4-6 glasses); spit cups will be provided. Given the limited seating capacity, purchasing tickets early is strongly encouraged. This event offers an invaluable opportunity to network with peers and alumni while enjoying some of Napa's finest wines and promotes Napa Valley College's strong commitment to supporting diverse communities and fostering inclusive programming throughout the region. We eagerly anticipate your attendance and the chance to share this enriching experience with you.

All attendees must be 21 or older to participate in this event. By purchasing tickets, you confirm that you are 21 or older and acknowledge responsibility for complying with all laws and regulations regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages. A valid ID will be required to participate.
