We are excited to introduce Vinous Learn, a new program of in-depth, interactive virtual tastings that bring wine education to your home.

Our first module focuses on the wines of Napa Valley and is available in two highly limited packages, as described below. Antonio Galloni leads a learning module of eight classes focusing on the seven AVAs of Napa Valley Vinous has mapped so far, plus a class on up and coming stars. Antonio will be joined by numerous guests, including winemakers, authors and other experts, each of whom will share their unique perspective with class participants. You will learn about the history of each appellation, explore key vineyard sites and taste three wines per session, all in a highly interactive learning environment. The eighth class is dedicated to emerging producers. Sessions begin on Saturday, June 20 at 2pm PST and will run for eight weeks.

We are partnering with K. Laz Wine Collection, who will ship the wines, and Coravin, who is making their professional, restaurant-series Coravin 5 available at a special price. Kits are available now using the links below. If you can’t travel to wine country, we will bring it to you.

- Coravin Model 5 and Aerator Kit: Model Five is the Coravin standard, featuring the perfect balance between elegance and durability. Model Five features a classic, timeless design and all-new SmartClamps™, making it sturdy and easy to go on/off from bottle to bottle. The Coravin Aerator is the perfect accessory to enhance the taste of your wine in seconds by mixing the right amount of air with the wine as you pour. Its unique design uses the system’s pressure to force wine through 24 carefully placed and sized holes. By creating small jets that dramatically expand the surface area of wine exposed to air, it rapidly aerates the wine to yield silky, smooth, and aromatic results equivalent to decanting wine for approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
