Free Tastings

Here you’ll find our weekly event schedule, featuring a selection of free tastings that are often hosted, curated, and led by members of our retail team (aka the heartbeat of our little shop). There’s always something open, which means there’s always something to taste!

Les Classiques from France

A wine tasting featuring tried and true selections.

Join us at The Prow Gallery on May 29th, 2026 at 6:00 PM and raise a glass with us while sampling some tried and true bottles from France! Les Classiques explores and honours some of the staples that we’ve sold over the years as May is our birthday month. Our friends from The Bird’s Nest will supply some lightfare and we’re just hoping they have the gougeres, in abundance.
