Wine Classes

Every Tuesday from 7 pm to 8 pm, Vinoteca holds wine classes for a small group in our upstairs lounge.  These educational wine tastings are led by local wine experts in a comfortable and informal setting.  At each class we take a look at a selection of five to six wines that are paired with cheeses by our chefs.  While you develop your palate, you are free to discuss the wines with the instructor or amongst the group.  No previous wine experience is necessary!  Bring your friends and your tastebuds.  Enjoy!

Reservations are required. Only 20 spaces available.

To sign up for a class, give us a call at 202.332.9463 or e-mail us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

All classes are $35 (+ tax) per person, and you receive a $5 gift card as well.
