Skin Deep: A World Tour of Orange & Skin-Contact Wines

It's not a phase — orange wine is here to stay.

Skin-contact white wines are one of the most exciting and misunderstood categories in the wine world. In this hands-on tasting class, we'll pull back the curtain on how extended skin contact transforms white grapes into something altogether different — deeper in color, richer in texture, and alive with complexity.

We'll explore the full spectrum of styles, from delicately kissed to boldly tannic, tracing how winemakers across the globe interpret this ancient technique in wildly different ways. Expect the unexpected: wines that challenge your palate, spark conversation, and just might upend everything you thought you knew about white wine.

Whether you're an orange wine obsessive or completely new to the category, this class is designed to expand your palate and deepen your appreciation for one of wine's most compelling — and fastest growing — styles.

Spots are limited — grab yours before they're gone.
