Learning about wine and the enjoyment of wine can be a fun and rewarding life-long pursuit. It can also lead to health benefits from consuming wine!

What better place to experience learning about wine than at a winery?!?!

As current college professors, the owners of Eagles Nest Winery and Cottage believe in continuous life-long learning and in the case of wine, sharing wine knowledge in an enjoyable and relaxing manner. From the historical origins of winemaking, to the wine regions and wines of the world, to the science and art fo winemaking, there is a plethora of wine knowledge to be shared and learned.
