We will be covering the basic steps of mead making, sanitation, additives, primary and secondary fermentation, transferring & clearing, different kinds of mead etc.  This class is especially cool because you will be taking home homemade mead when class concludes! ;) Super informative class for those who are interested in the mead making process!  Class begins at 12 pm and should last around 3 hours.  There will be sampling and finger foods!  All you need to bring is yourself, a notepad if you'd like and maybe even a friend!

• Taylor Wine Class: This particular wine class spans out over the month and consists of three different sessions. We have taken the wine making process and broken it down for you the easiest way possible! Each of the 3 days focuses on a certain stage of the wine making process. We will be taking a few 6-gallon wine kits we sell here at the store and going through each individual step with you in depth. The schedule of what you will be learning by day is as follows:
• Day one: Sanitation, additives, gravity, pitching, and preparing for fermentation, etc.
• Day two: Transferring, secondary, oxygenating, clearing, etc. 
• Day three: Bottling, corking, Labeling, storage, etc.  This is an informational, hands on class in which you're guaranteed to have fun! 
• When your last session concludes you will be given wine to take home and show off, the wine you helped make! Class starts at 3 pm and ends at 5 pm. Samples and finger foods provided, last day a light dinner is provided!  Bring yourself, a notepad if you'd like and maybe a friend or two or three!
