Waterworks Education Hour: Orange Wine 201
Not for the orange wine agnostics! For those who want to go deeper down the skin-contact rabbit hole; orange wine 101 not required! Together we'll explore questions like: where does white wine with skin contact end and an orange wine begin? Or does more time on skins always translate into a more intense orange colour and intensity in the glass? Orange wine is just as diverse as the world of whites or reds, so let's get to know them!

Waterworks Education Hour: Remystifying Wine
Fermentation is magic! At Grape Witches we're obsessed with sharing delicious wines in accessible ways, but what if we threw accessibility aside for ONE NIGHT ONLY and dove into the misty world of the unknown. We'll get into biodynamic farming, the Earth's ENERGY and the lengths winemakers will go to harness it, plus compost, regenerative farming & the age old question, should we bury a cow horn?!
Wednesday, November 18th & Thursday, November 19th
Special Event: GW x Georgia
We are Georgian wine OBSESSED. Georgia has the world's OLDEST evidence of wine production, stretching back 8000 years. Yes, we'll explore deep and savoury skin contact orange wines the country is famous for, but also share crisp whites, savoury rosés and light to deep reds & even some Chacha from some of the most exciting producers in the country, all to the soundtrack of Georgian music accompanied by delicious local snacks. Let's GO!

Waterworks Education Hour: Pinot Noir Deep Dive
Why are we all so obsessed with pinot noir? This grape is notoriously thin skinned, temperamental, and difficult to grow, yet we continue to spend irresponsible amounts of money to fuel our thirst for pinot. What inspires this maniacal devotion? And do I have to max out my credit card to enjoy this freaking grape? Come curious, thirsty & ready to sip one of the most special grapes we know.
