Island Wines – August 13

  • Spring Mill Cafe 164 Barren Hill Road Conshohocken, PA, 19428 United States (map)

Take an island wine vacation via a Conshohocken farmhouse.

Instructor: Lauren Harris

If you'll be sweating your way through August in Philadelphia instead of lounging beachside on an exotic island, we've got you covered: come to our Island Wines tutored tasting.

Island wines is a thing – he term refers to wines from southern European islands, such as Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica and others, that are fresh, flavorful and fun.

While each island has its own distinct terroir, climate, and indigenous grapes, the inherently austere growing conditions yield flavorful wines because the hardy vines vigorously soak up minerals and channel all their energy into fruit production. The temperature shifts brought on by the proximity to the sea produce high-acidity thirst quenchers that the wine gods intended for summer enjoyment. '

The class will take place at the iconic Spring Mill Café’s bucolic farmhouse in Conshohocken. Spring Mill Café is the local restaurant that has figuratively transported locals to France’s Loire Valley since 1978. For the complete experience, we suggest making dinner reservations for before or after the class. We will be selling bottles for you to enjoy with your dinner.
