Where cowboy boots meet cabernet and Central States Fair fun meets fine wine — no snobs, no pressure, just sippin’ lessons from the back of a chuckwagon.

Whether you're a boxed-wine loyalist or a future sommelier in Wranglers, this beginner-friendly tasting experience will walk (or two-step) you through the 5 S’s of wine tasting:
👉 See, Swirl, Sniff, Sip, and Savor — the cowboy way.

Led by our charismatic Wine Wrangler, you’ll learn to read the color of a good pour, swirl like a pro, sniff out those secret aromas, and sip your way to a better understanding of what’s in your glass. We'll even get hands-on with fun flavor demos (yep, there's salt and spice involved!).

Sample four classic wines — Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet — while having a laugh, learning something new, and maybe finding your new favorite.

So grab your hat, grab your glass, and giddy up — it’s time to get a little fancy without losing your boots.
