Continue to tantalize your taste buds, with a visit to the local tea shop to cleanse your palette in preparation for your next wine and food pairing. Here you’ll enjoy the aromas and tastes of several freshly made teas.
At your next stop, enjoy a tastings of several boutique wines creatively balanced with unique dishes.
Each pairing throughout the day will make you rethink the way you experience food and wine together. For example, did you know Merlot has a very linear flavor profile which pulls out the most dominate ingredient in the dish?
