For centuries, wine has been more than a drink—it has been a symbol of faith, celebration, and divine connection. In Georgia, it is traditionally believed that “red wine goes straight into the blood.” No other beverage has inspired as much folklore, myth, and ritual: from the Eucharist to Egyptian mummification, from the Chinese legend of Yidi to the joyous revelries of Dionysus.

Join us for the first chapter of Wine Legends, where we explore the sacred and storied side of the vine. This unique tasting will feature:

• Kosher wine, rooted in spiritual tradition
• Mead inspired by the Mayan god Acan, a deity of festivity and intoxication
• Wines from cultures where the grapevine itself is honored as sacred

Together, we’ll sip, savor, and journey through the legends, gods, and mysteries that have made wine one of humanity’s most powerful symbols.

Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or new to wine tasting, this event offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere to explore, sip, and savor.
