Forks & Corks University Master Classes

International winemakers and industry experts lead guided, ninety-minute tasting seminars inside the ballroom at Michael's On East. Serving as the educational wing of the annual Forks & Corks Food and Wine Festival, these master classes delve into specific terroirs, grape varietals, and regional blending techniques. Each session provides attendees with a curated flight of twelve distinct wines, allowing for side-by-side comparative analysis of vintage variations and production styles. The structured tastings are accompanied by specialized pairing plates composed of light bites, designed to demonstrate how fats, acids, and proteins interact with the tannin structures in the glass.
