  • Tasting seminars can take anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on the subject, your interest and interaction. During the winter months, the seminars will be given in the large teaching area in the Retreat. In the summer months (depending on weather) you have the option of going to our back country location for a very special tasting/learning experience. There you will be treated to beautiful views in a wilderness setting with wonderful wines.
  • Each seminar will be formatted to your level and subject (see questionnaire). Our goal is to enlighten and intrigue our guests with the wines in the seminars they choose. The last thing we want is to be boring, mundane or snooty! We make it fun, interesting, educational and enlightening, not to mention very, very tasty!
  • You may choose from any of our popular seminars but we also will tailor seminars to your area of interest. Want to taste a particular varietal from different locations around the world? We can do that. Want to focus on a particular part of the world? We can do that too. Please note: specific seminar options may require additional conversation to set up the wines and cost.
  • Seminars Without Accommodations: Yes, you can schedule a seminar without accommodations. Minimum of four people and costs start at $25/person. Call for details: 208-325-8509.

Working with Ray is always a pleasure. I have sourced wines for my 14 week, Saint Paul College Wine Professional course since 2012, and I am always happy with his carefully curated selection. Ray has a passion that is driven by knowledge and appreciation of wine from grapes to glass. Minnesota is going to miss Ray!
