This fall The Bighorn is hosting 3, Wine 101 classes. The three classes are designed to be a progressive Wine 101 series; however guests can also sign up for individual classes and only attend those they find most desirable and/or those that work with their schedule if it is preferred. Seats are limited and they do tend to fill up. If you would like to attend the full 3-class series, it is recommended that you purchase all three in advance to ensure you have a spot in each of them.
All classes will occur on Tuesdays from 6:30 - 8:30pm. The Bighorn will be closed to the public during workshop hours.
