Italiano Sunday School Wine Seminar with Driftwood

 

Join us for this fantastic Sunday School Wine Seminar featuring Driftwood Publick House & Oysteria.

This Sunday School Wine Seminar will feature wines from Italy, a beautifully rustic menu from Driftwood Publick House & Oysteria. Niall McCallum a fan favorite here at Pioppi’s will be taking us on our journey though Italy via glass with a formal tasting and food pairing explanation.

Fantastic wines, amazing food from local restaurants, top-rate speakers……

Our Sunday School classes begin in February and sell out quickly! Now in our 13th year, we continue to receive early requests and reservations for our growing seminar program. The best testament to our fun and informative wine classes is the fact that we sell out quickly, and our customers are eager to return every year. Our classes offer a variety of themes (regions, vineyards, varietals), and provide first-rate, wine knowledgeable speakers as well as amazing tasting menus from local restaurants. All classes are held at Pioppi’s Package Store from 1 P.M. until 3 P.M. includes a fabulous tasting menu paired with a sampling of wines.
