Join us for a unique wine-tasting experience on September 25th at Nautilus
Our producers are small, family-owned vineyards that use alternative agricultural practices and produce their wine with minimal intervention in the cellar. They take a mindful approach to winemaking through organic or biodynamic farming systems, sustainable agricultural practices, efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, responsible use of water, fair labor practices and safe working conditions.
Our wine-tasting experience offers a diverse selection of eight wines hailing from Spain and Italy, each thoughtfully paired with three delightful mini-courses.
Seats are limited. Tickets are available at Nautilus.
