Tasting Classes

At Premier, we believe that the more you learn about wine the more you'll enjoy it. That's why we host fun, informative tasting classes on a regular basis.

Each class covers a specific topic -- it could be a wine region, a skill, a brand, etc -- and you'll be treated to samples of some of our favorite examples related to that topic during the class. You'll also learn more about wine (or spirits), and become a more sophisticated drinker in the process.

Most importantly, these classes are meant to be laid-back and fun. No prior knowledge necessary (except in rare cases where it will be noted in the class listing), no tests...just enjoying delicious beverages and learning more about them.

Note: All classes are held at our in-store classroom at:

Premium Wine & Spirits
