Autumn on the Mediterranean: A Coastal Wine Tasting
Sunlit vineyards, autumn evenings, and effortless elegance.

Ease into early autumn with a refreshing tasting inspired by Mediterranean coastal living and consciously crafted wines. This guided experience features a new selection of organic and biodynamic wines from Italy, France, and Spain, celebrated for their freshness, purity, and effortless elegance.

Enjoy lively sparkling wines, mineral-driven whites, expressive rosés, and smooth, silky reds perfect for early autumn evenings. Guests will discover how mindful farming and coastal influences create wines that are vibrant, balanced, and beautifully expressive.

Created as Part 2 for those who loved our summer Coastal Vibes tasting, this event features an entirely new wine selection. Attendance at Part 1 is not required. All wine lovers and those interested in learning more about wine are welcome!

The tasting includes tasting materials and small bites. Wines presented and provided by Oakwood Vines, Lake Forest, IL.
